- Perform sensor testing, route-based testing, and product support testing to validate hardware and software performance in real-world applications.
- Conduct Quality Assurance (QA) on InsightCM (ICM) releases, focusing on vibration and ESA features to ensure high-quality product delivery.
- Respond to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) by providing technical input, solution architecture, and accurate scoping of vibration and ESA-related requirements.
- Consult directly with customers to assess their vibration and reliability needs and recommend appropriate solutions.
- Collaborate closely with the Principal Applications Engineer and Sales team to develop tailored technical proposals and integration strategies.
- Troubleshoot complex vibration-related issues in industrial applications, including motors, pumps, compressors, and turbines.
- Independently manage technical projects with minimal supervision, ensuring timely delivery and quality outcomes.
- Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for both internal stakeholders and customers.
- Stay current with advancements in vibration analysis technologies and predictive maintenance tools.
Requirements
- Vibration Analyst Certification - Category 2 (Cat 2) at a minimum.
- 5-10 years of hands-on practical experience in online motor testing with at least 5 years in Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA).
- Extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with vibration analysis techniques.
- Proven ability to work independently and drive technical solutions from consultation through implementation.
- Strong experience in customer-facing technical roles within industrial or reliability engineering environments.
- Proficiency in vibration data collection and analysis tools (e.g., CSI, SKF, Bently Nevada).
- Excellent collaboration, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Nice to Have
- Experience with machine learning and AI applied to condition monitoring.
- Industry experience in oil and gas, pulp and paper, or mineral and mining.
- Familiarity with industry standards related to vibration and machinery diagnostics.
What We Offer
