Responsibilities: CT Scan Operation Optimization System Operation : Safely and efficiently operate high-resolution industrial CT scanning systems (e.g., micro-CT, multi-source systems). Scan Optimization : Determine optimal scan parameters (voltage, current, exposure, filters, voxel size) based on material density, geometry, and required resolution to minimize artifacts and maximize data quality. Fixture Design : Design and fabricate custom, low-density fixtures to position complex prototype parts securely without interfering with X-ray penetration. Metrology Data Analysis Dimensional Inspection : Perform full 3D inspections and compare CT volume data against nominal CAD models using advanced analysis software (e.g., Volume Graphics VGStudio MAX, GOM Inspect). GD T Analysis : Evaluate complex geometric features, including wall thickness, porosity, fiber orientation, and part-to-CAD variances using strict GD T principles. Reporting : Create comprehensive, visually intuitive metrology and inspection reports for design and quality engineering teams to accelerate product iterations. New Product Development Support Failure Analysis : Perform non-destructive root-cause analysis on failed prototypes or test samples to detect internal voids, cracks, assembly defects, or material delamination. Design for Manufacturability (DFM) : Partner with R D engineers early in the design cycle to advise on features that optimize X-ray inspectability. Maintenance, Quality, Safety Radiation Safety Officer : Ensure strict compliance to all local, state, and federal radiation safety regulations. Manage radiation protection plans (ALARA), monitor dosimetry, provide safety training and maintain radiation safety logs. Equipment Care : Perform routine calibration, daily system checks, and preventative maintenance on X-ray tubes, detectors, and motion systems. Coordinate with equipment vendors for advanced servicing. Comply with all Quality policies while continuously identifying opportunities for improvement. Support the process of ISO, ASI, and other certifications deemed necessary by the business. Adhere to all company safety regulations. Other duties as assigned.
