Job Description

Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Vibration Data Acquisition & Analysis
    • Develop and implement vibration measurement methodologies for rotating and static equipment such as motors, pumps, turbines, and gearboxes.
    • Configure and calibrate vibration sensors (accelerometers, MEMS, and piezoelectric) to ensure accurate data acquisition and reliable signal quality.
    • Perform vibration spectrum and time-domain analysis to identify unbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, looseness, and resonance issues.
    • Apply Full Spectrum Analysis to detect forward and backward whirl components, unbalance, misalignment, and fluid-induced instabilities in rotating machinery.
    • Conduct Orbit and Centerline (CLD) Analysis to assess shaft dynamic behavior, journal bearing performance, and rotor stability during various operating conditions.
    • Possess working knowledge of journal bearing analysis and eddy current sensor-based measurements for monitoring shaft position and bearing clearances.
  2. Signal Processing and Feature Extraction
    • Apply signal processing techniques such as FFT, envelope detection, wavelet transforms, and cepstrum analysis.
    • Extract relevant features for machine learning–based fault prediction models.
  3. Diagnostics and Root Cause Analysis
    • Support diagnostic efforts for vibration-related issues in mechanical systems.
    • Provide insights to improve asset reliability and reduce unplanned downtime.
  4. Collaboration and Reporting
    • Work with cross-functional teams (mechanical, data science, software, and IoT engineers) to enhance system accuracy.
    • Document test procedures, results, and diagnostic algorithms.
    • Present findings and recommendations to internal stakeholders and customers.
