Ultrasonic Inspection R&D Engineer: (KTP Associate)
Working with colleagues at NOV and academics at the University of Strathclyde, the associate will undertake a 2.5-year program of work that will study phased array inspection of large complex NOV components and develop optimized inspection procedures for maximum reliability. Areas to consider include: Improved phased array ultrasonic testing parameters to maximize defect detection probability for selected complex geometries. Design, manufacture, and validation of small-scale phased array ultrasonic calibration pieces through simulations and experiments compliant with industrial standards. Developing know-how for phased array ultrasonic testing procedures within NOV, leading the standardization of procedures, and training NOV NDT team personnel on inspection procedure development. The associate will design, develop sensitivity/calibration prototypes, and test them using NOV/Strathclyde’s impressive suite of test facilities and equipment. The Associate will also contribute to the knowledge base through training workshops and reports, which will form the basis for journal publications. Consistent reference to literature and the use of academic and industry expertise will ensure best practices and successful delivery. To develop a calibration and sensitivity system using advanced ultrasonic inspection of large and complex geometry parts. About the Business
