NDT Equipment Repair & Calibration Jobs

An NDT Equipment Repair and Calibration Technician is a specialized professional responsible for the maintenance, troubleshooting, and certification of inspection hardware. This role is vital because the accuracy of an NDT inspection is only as good as the equipment being used. These technicians work on a vast array of high tech tools including ultrasonic flaw detectors, radiography cameras, magnetic particle yokes, and eddy current probes. They ensure that every piece of gear operates within the tight tolerances required by industry codes.

The calibration side of this discipline is heavily regulated. Technicians must ensure that all equipment measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This involves performing precise adjustments and documenting the results to provide the certifications that NDT firms need for their quality audits. On the repair side, technicians must have a deep understanding of electronics and mechanical systems. They diagnose circuit board failures, replace worn sensors, and repair the ruggedized housings that protect equipment in harsh field environments.

Most professionals in this lane have a background in electronics technology or precision measurement. Many receive specialized training directly from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) such as Evident, Baker Hughes, or Eddyfi. Success in this field requires a methodical approach and a high degree of technical aptitude. These technicians often work in laboratory settings or travel to client sites to perform on site calibrations. By maintaining the integrity of the hardware, they provide the foundation for every successful inspection performed in the energy, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors.
