How much do dye penetrant testing jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 18, 2026, the average hourly pay for dye penetrant testing in the United States is $20.21, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $17.55 and $21.63 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is dye penetrant testing?

A Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT) job involves inspecting materials and components for surface defects such as cracks, porosity, or seams using liquid dye penetrants. Technicians apply a colored or fluorescent dye to the surface, allow it to seep into any flaws, then remove the excess and apply a developer to reveal imperfections. This non-destructive testing (NDT) method is commonly used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing to ensure structural integrity. DPT professionals must follow strict procedures and safety guidelines to provide accurate results.

What does a dye penetrant tester do?

Professionals in Dye Penetrant Testing are responsible for preparing test surfaces, applying penetrant and developer, inspecting for surface defects such as cracks or porosity, and documenting their findings. Their daily work involves close collaboration with quality assurance teams and engineers to ensure all components meet safety and regulatory standards. While much of the work is hands-on and detail-oriented, these specialists also need to interpret specifications and complete thorough inspection reports. Adhering to strict safety protocols and working in various industrial environments, from manufacturing plants to construction sites, are also a routine part of the job.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for dye penetrant testing?

To excel in Dye Penetrant Testing, you need a solid understanding of non-destructive testing (NDT) principles, attention to detail, and often a relevant technical certification such as ASNT Level I or II. Familiarity with dye penetrant application equipment, UV light inspection devices, and NDT reporting systems is typically required. Strong observational skills, effective communication, and the ability to follow procedures precisely are important soft skills. These competencies are vital for accurately identifying flaws in materials, ensuring safety standards, and facilitating clear reporting and teamwork in industrial settings.

Job description

Your vision is ambitious. Just like ours.

Our people are our success. As one of us, you will contribute to engineering excellence for the high-tech markets of the future, including semiconductors, batteries, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and data centers. At Exyte, you will be part of a global community of challenge seekers who are ambitious and passionate about innovation. Together, we will build on our company’s long history and keep on leading the way to a better world.

Discovering your exciting role

Work in a semiconductor cleanroom welding and inspecting ultra-high-purity (UHP) stainless process piping using orbital GTAW. You’ll qualify UHP gas lines/manifolds, inspect VMBs and panels, and verify integrity with helium leak testing, dye penetrant, and visual inspections—keeping builds on spec, first time, every time. You’ll work in a cleanroom environment with modern AMI orbital systems, steady OT opportunities, and growth paths (CWI/Level III).

Explore your tasks and responsibilities

  • Welding & setup: AMI orbital setup/run, create/log weld coupons, execute stainless UHP orbital GTAW.
  • Inspection & testing: Helium leak tests (LT), dye penetrant (PT), visual per AWS D18; use calipers/borescope/helium mass spec.
  • Docs & drawings: Review travelers/work instructions/specs and P&IDs; redline as-built; maintain weld logs.
  • Quality & communication: Communicate spec compliance/updates; raise weld issues; recommend improvements.
  • Training: Provide OJT to Level I; assist Level III with technique development.
  • General: Perform other inspection duties as assigned.

Show your expertise

  • Current ASME Section IX welding performance qualification in GTAW (orbital) for stainless steel process piping in compliance with ASME B31.3.
  • Must have one: AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) or Certified Associate Welding Inspector (CAWI) OR NDT Level II in Helium Leak Testing (LT) and Dye Penetrant Testing (PT) per employer’s written practice to ASNT SNT-TC-1A.
  • Minimum 5+ years’ orbital welding experience in UHP/cleanroom industries (semiconductor, biotech); field service experience a plus.
  • Proficiency with AMI orbital welding equipment and standard inspection tools (calipers, borescope, helium leak tester).
  • Ability to read and redline P&IDs, isometric drawings, and build-to-print diagrams.
