Rotordynamic Modeling & Analysis: Conduct lateral, torsional, and axial vibration studies, including critical speed maps and Campbell diagrams.
Seal Design & Performance: Design and validate dynamic seal concepts (e.g., labyrinth seals, brush seals, face contact seals) based on performance, wear, and leakage criteria.
Bearing Selection & Analysis: Evaluate and optimize bearing performance (fluid film, rolling element, or magnetic) to manage stiffness, damping, and power loss.
Design Validation & Testing: Correlate analytical predictions with test data and support testing (flight, ground, or lab) for model validation.
Root Cause Analysis: Investigate machinery failures and propose corrective actions.
Technical Documentation: Prepare technical reports, design documentation, and API-compliant technical specifications.
Key Skills And Technical Proficiencies
Software: Proficiency in simulation tools like AxSTREAM, XLROTOR, Matlab, ANSYS, or specialized seal analysis software.
Engineering Principles: Strong understanding of rotordynamics, tribology, finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Design Standards: Experience with industry standards, such as API 617, API 684, and API 610.
System Knowledge: Deep understanding of bearing technologies and rotor-bearing-seal interactions.
Qualifications
Education: Master's degree or Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
Experience: Generally requires 4+ years of experience in rotor-dynamics, bearing design, or high-performance turbomachinery.
