Vibration Specialist

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. Qualifications
