In this role, you'll analyze vibration and operational data, perform rotor dynamic modeling and simulations, support rotor balancing activities, and help troubleshoot complex equipment behavior. You'll also conduct dynamic testing, apply digital signal processing techniques, develop custom diagnostic tools, and contribute to the continuous improvement of test procedures and automation efforts. Along the way, you'll serve as a technical expert in rotor dynamics and vibration analysis while helping drive innovation across advanced centrifuge technology programs.

What You Bring:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering field

5+ years of experience in rotor dynamics, vibration analysis, or related technical disciplines

Strong knowledge of high-speed rotating machinery dynamics and system behavior

Experience with vibration diagnostics, modal analysis, and rotating equipment troubleshooting

Proficiency in modeling and simulation of rotating systems

Experience applying digital signal processing techniques to engineering data

Familiarity with software development and engineering analysis tools, with Python strongly preferred

Experience using Finite Element Analysis software such as ANSYS or similar platforms

Solid understanding of mechanical vibrations and system dynamics

Must be able to obtain and maintain a "Q" clearance

A Successful Candidate Brings:

Master's degree or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

8+ years working with gas centrifuges or other ultra-high-speed rotating systems

Familiarity with automated testing, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems

Ability to thrive in both independent and highly collaborative engineering environments

Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical findings clearly to cross-functional teams

An active or previously held Q-level security clearance
