Senior Vibration & Anti-Vibration Engineer / Specialist
We are looking for a senior engineer/specialist with proven hands-on experience in industrial vibration and anti-vibration system design and development.
This is a project-based engineering role covering concept, calculations, design, development, testing, commissioning and final validation.
Technical Scope
Vibration / Excitation System
Excitation principle selection and system architecture
Eccentric / rotating / counter-rotating exciters
Electromagnetic, hydraulic, pneumatic and actuator-based systems
G-force / acceleration, amplitude, displacement, velocity and frequency
Excitation force, eccentric mass, eccentricity and operating speed
Phase angle, synchronization and dynamic balancing
Force and moment vectors; directional control
CG / centre of mass, centre of excitation and mass moment of inertia
Resultant dynamic forces, moments and load paths
Dynamic & Structural Engineering
Degrees of freedom and dynamic response
Stiffness and damping
Natural frequency, resonance and critical speed
Modal behaviour and structural dynamics
Dynamic loads and cyclic fatigue
Start/stop and transient conditions
Control of parasitic X/Y/Z motion
Pitch, roll, yaw, rocking and structural vibration
Anti-Vibration / Isolation
Springs and elastomeric/rubber isolators
Dampers and damping systems
Air springs / air buffers
Hydraulic / pneumatic isolation
Dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics
Static/dynamic deflection
Natural frequency and transmissibility
Isolation efficiency and mount configuration
Load distribution and multi-axis behaviour
Vibration transmission to supporting structures
Project Scope
Define dynamic requirements and acceptance criteria
Select and engineer the appropriate vibration architecture
Perform first-principles calculations and dynamic analysis
Design excitation, balancing, synchronization and control systems
Design vibration isolation and anti-vibration systems
Develop prototype/test arrangements
Define instrumentation and measurement requirements
Conduct and analyse physical vibration testing
Correlate calculations/simulation with measured results
Troubleshoot and eliminate unwanted vibration
Optimise the system for performance, reliability and long-term operation
Finalise and validate the complete system
Key Deliverables
Engineering design basis and dynamic parameters
Vibration/excitation system calculations
Dynamic force, moment and CG analysis
Excitation, balancing and synchronization calculations
Natural-frequency / resonance / modal assessment
Stiffness, damping and isolation calculations
Transmissibility and vibration-isolation analysis
Dynamic/structural analysis where required
System design and component specifications
Test and instrumentation plan
Prototype testing and measurement
Vibration data / FFT analysis and test report
Analytical vs. physical test correlation
Design optimisation and final validation
Engineering specifications and documentation
Candidate Profile
Essential: Proven experience designing and developing real industrial vibration and anti-vibration systems.
We are looking for someone who has personally handled engineering calculations, design, development, testing, commissioning and troubleshooting - not only academic research, theoretical analysis or simulation/FEA.
Please share relevant projects, type of vibration system, your exact technical responsibility, design/calculation involvement, testing/commissioning experience and significant vibration problems you have solved.
