We are seeking a Rotordynamics Engineer to lead and support the analysis, design, validation, and troubleshooting of high-performance rotating machinery systems. This role spans the full product lifecycle—from early conceptual studies and trade analyses through detailed modeling, testing, field support, and root cause investigations. The ideal candidate has strong theoretical foundations in rotor dynamics, practical experience with real-world turbomachinery, and the ability to collaborate across aerodynamic, structural, mechanical, manufacturing, testing, and software development teams. Level and scope of responsibility will be adjusted based on experience.
Job Responsibility:
Conduct comprehensive rotordynamics analyses
Develop analytical and numerical models of rotor-bearing-seal systems
Analyze system sensitivity to bearing stiffness, damping, support flexibility, and operating conditions
Provide input on design of shafts, and support structures
Interface with clients to discuss analysis goals, required information, and project timeline
Assist in selecting appropriate bearing technology
Demonstrate understanding of common turbomachinery bearing technologies
Assess seal dynamics and rotordynamic cross-coupling effects
Optimize bearing performance and system stability
Work with test engineers to define instrumentation and test plans
Diagnose vibration, instability, and resonance issues
Conduct root cause analysis of machinery failures
Provide technical support during commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance
Contribute to internal methods development
Support commercial software development
Prepare detailed technical reports, documentation, and presentations
Communicate technical findings to internal teams and external customers
Contribute to proposal efforts and technical reviews
Requirements:
B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field
Strong fundamentals in rotordynamics, vibrations, and dynamics of rotating systems
Experience with rotordynamic analysis tools (e.g., DyRoBeS, XLTRC2, ARMD, or equivalent)
Experience correlating analytical models with experimental data
Be familiar with relevant industry standards (API, aerospace, energy sector requirements)
Strong problem-solving ability and engineering judgment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Nice to have:
Experience with high-speed turbomachinery (compressors, turbines, pumps, expanders)
Exposure to experimental testing, instrumentation, and data acquisition
Programming/scripting experience (MATLAB, Python, or similar)
Experience contributing to analysis method or software development
