Description

RAM Aerospace has been powering flight and space exploration since 1975, delivering precision solenoids, valves, actuators, LVDTs, and RVDTs for commercial, defense, and space applications.

Join a team that builds the future of aerospace, on time, with excellence. Your career takes off here!

As an NDT Technician II at RAM Aerospace, you bring certified expertise and real depth to the inspection team responsible for protecting the integrity of components that power flight and space exploration. Working primarily with magnetic particle (MT) and fluorescent penetrant (PT) inspection methods, you will independently perform inspections to detect corrosion, defects, or other detrimental conditions in accordance with strict written criteria, interpreting indications and reporting results with the judgment that comes from real experience. Beyond your own inspection workload, you will serve as a technical resource and informal mentor to less experienced technicians, sharing your expertise and helping build NDT capability across the team, even without formal supervisory authority. If you are a certified, seasoned NDT professional who takes pride in precision and wants your expertise to shape the people around you, this role gives you the platform to do it.
