Roles & Responsibilities :

• 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.

• 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.

Educational qualification:
