As production scales, FPRT will transition to 24/7 operations, and the role is expected to move into a three-shift rotation. Your main responsibilities will include: Non-Destructive Testing (CT / X-ray) • Perform industrial CT (computed tomography) and industrial X-ray inspections of solid propellant grains and motor assemblies. • Detect and evaluate internal defects (e.g., voids, cracks, inclusions, density inconsistencies, delamination) and geometry deviations that may impact burn behavior. • Plan and execute inspections in a production environment: align on sampling logistics, manage inspection queues/priorities, and ensure smooth handover across shifts as the function scales.
