Vibration Monitoring – Combat Jet & Cryogenic Engines

Scope of Work

We are seeking a specialist in Vibration Monitoring to support the dynamic health and safety assessment of high-performance combat jet and cryogenic propulsion systems. This role focuses on real-time monitoring, diagnosis, and predictive analysis of vibration signatures from rotating machinery and structural components under extreme operating conditions.

Nature of Work

• Set up and calibration of vibration sensors (accelerometers, strain gauges, telemetry systems)
• Monitoring of dynamic behavior in engines during test runs and ground operation cycles
• Root cause analysis of excessive vibration, imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear
• Modal and harmonic response analysis using simulation tools (ANSYS, LMS, Abaqus)
• Signal processing and FFT analysis using tools like MATLAB, DEWESoft, or LabVIEW
• Integration of vibration diagnostics into digital twin systems and FADEC interfaces
• Correlation of experimental data with analytical models to predict component failure modes
• Support engine safety case documentation with vibration test reports

Job Requirements

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics, or Applied Physics
• 2+ years of experience in vibration analysis or dynamic system testing
• Strong foundation in rotor dynamics, structural dynamics, and signal processing
• Proficiency in vibration instrumentation setup and DAQ systems
• Familiarity with high-speed rotating machinery (turbines, compressors, pumps)
• Experience working with ground test facilities or engine testbeds is a plus
• Understanding of modal testing, damping behavior, and high-cycle fatigue (HCF)
• Ability to interpret Bode plots, Nyquist plots, Campbell diagrams, etc.

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or individuals authorized to work in India
• Motivated to contribute to the advancement of indigenous propulsion technologies
• Candidates with publications or project work in vibration monitoring are encouraged to apply
