BWXT is currently seeking a NDE Development Engineer for its Lynchburg Technology Campus (LTC) in Virginia!
The Non-Destructive Evaluation and Inspection Systems (NDE&IS) group at BWXT researches, develops, and builds custom non-destructive inspection systems for both internal and external customers. These non-destructive evaluation (NDE) systems are mostly based on ultrasonic testing but can involve electromagnetic (i.e., eddy current) testing or vision systems.
NDE&IS is seeking an experienced Non-Destructive Evaluation Development Engineer to join our group of engineers and technicians to support the research and development of these systems. If you are looking for a career where your experience is valued, innovative thinking is fostered, and barrier-free teamwork is embraced every day, then this opportunity is for you.
Job Duties/Responsibilities:
- Assess candidate non-destructive evaluation needs and develop design concepts for custom system development to meet those needs.
- Work with potential customers to prepare and submit cost proposals for the development of custom systems.
- Design and model ultrasonic inspection tests and testing systems.
- Design other NDE tests supported by analysis and numerical modeling to optimize and verify the design.
- Perform NDE system design including specifying subsystem components such as scanners, NDE instruments, data acquisition instruments, and software development.
- Conduct system verification testing of an inspection method or system. Design and implement modifications to the inspection or testing system as needed to obtain the correct results.
- Design electromagnetic devices such as eddy current coils, magnetic devices, and induction heating coils.
- Design and develop custom analog and digital circuits for use in these systems.
Job qualifications/Requirements:
- A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics or Engineering with courses in electromagnetics, analog/digital electronics design, wave propagation, thermodynamics, and mathematics.
- At least (4) years of related experience with emphasis on ultrasonic testing is required.
- Candidates with experience using CIVA for simulating ultrasonic and eddy current inspections is a plus.
- Candidates able to use electronic CAD packages and electronics simulation software is a plus.
- Candidates with experience using ANSYS FEM packages to simulate electromagnetic and thermal device operation is a plus.
- Having some proficiency in programming in LabVIEW, C++, C#, C, or similar programming languages is a plus.
- The candidate should be a self-starter, capable of working as part of a team, and occasionally independently.
- The candidate should have good oral, written, and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Security Clearance.
This position will work a 9/80 schedule.
