About the Role
You'll join the Assembly team as a frontline guardian of quality and reliability, performing critical Penetrant and Radiography inspections on flight-critical hardware. You'll set up, calibrate, and operate equipment to inspect welds, tubes, and complex machined components in accordance with industry standards and internal procedures. You'll interpret and evaluate inspection results against engineering drawings and acceptance criteria, creating detailed reports documenting your findings. You'll collaborate directly with engineering, manufacturing, and welding teams to schedule inspections and communicate findings. You'll also help develop and refine NDT procedures for new products and complex geometries, and provide guidance and mentorship to Level I technicians and trainees. If you're currently a Level I ready for the next step, Stoke Space will pay for the training and testing required to get you to Level II.
