- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
