What the work involves
On the listings we read, engineers interpret multi-part assemblies and drawings and write questions and answers about design intent, solve advanced CFD problems, interpret non-destructive testing data against code criteria, review machining drawings and GD&T, assess cargo and damage evidence, and, for pilots, transcribe and check air traffic control audio.
Who qualifies
The listings ask for years of hands-on experience, often seven or ten or more, and several name certifications, for example ASNT or ISO 9712 Level II or III for inspection roles. Some prefer applicants based in the US, and pilot roles ask for substantial real-world flight experience. Check each listing for its own requirements.
