Non-destructive testing engineer vs material engineer

Differences between non-destructive testing engineer and material engineer duties and responsibilities

Non-destructive testing engineer example responsibilities.

• Manage aluminum structural/pipe fabrication turnaround: cross-country CGIT/IPB megawatt electrical power conductors.
• Identify and implement improvements in the welding (and brazing) department that would lead to increases in efficiency and profitability.
• Maintain quality/engineering programs & specifications for NDT.
• Subject matter expert for heavy wall aluminum weldment fabrication.
• Define and administer training of welding and brazing personnel including hands-on instruction.
• Modify existing visual inspection and introduce new NDE methods to ensure up-to-date inspection technology and techniques are used to improve production.
