Vibration Analyst

Job Description

Roles & 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

Educational qualification:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Instrumentation, or Applied Physics.

Experience :

• 5-7 years in vibration diagnostics, predictive maintenance, Condition Monitoring

Mandatory/requires Skills :

• Must have ISO Category II or III Vibration Analyst Certification (e.g., Mobius Institute)

• Good to have knowledge of ISO 10816 / ISO 20816 standards

• Good to have knowledge of API Standards for Rotating Machinery

Preferred Skills :

• Thermography

• Knowledge on Dynamic balancing, Alignment, MCSA, Lubrication analysis

• Root cause analysis (RCA) and reliability tools (FMEA, FRACAS etc)

Additional Information

Vibration analysis (FFT, modal analysis, spectral analysis), condition monitoring, rotating equipment diagnostics
