A Rotor-dynamic and Seal Design Engineer is a specialized mechanical engineering role focused on the analysis design and optimization of high-speed rotating machinery (turbomachinery) to ensure stability reliability and efficiency. They are responsible for modeling how rotors bearings and seals behave under operating conditions to prevent mechanical failure such as vibration imbalance and resonance.
Core Responsibilities
Rotordynamic Modeling & Analysis: Conduct lateral torsional and axial vibration studies including critical speed maps and Campbell diagrams.
Seal Design & Performance: Design and validate dynamic seal concepts (e.g. labyrinth seals brush seals face contact seals) based on performance wear and leakage criteria.
Bearing Selection & Analysis: Evaluate and optimize bearing performance (fluid film rolling element or magnetic) to manage stiffness damping and power loss.
Design Validation & Testing: Correlate analytical predictions with test data and support testing (flight ground or lab) for model validation.
Root Cause Analysis: Investigate machinery failures and propose corrective actions.
Technical Documentation: Prepare technical reports design documentation and API-compliant technical specifications.
Key Skills and Technical Proficiencies
Software: Proficiency in simulation tools like AxSTREAM XLROTOR Matlab ANSYS or specialized seal analysis software.
Engineering Principles: Strong understanding of rotordynamics tribology finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Design Standards: Experience with industry standards such as API 617 API 684 and API 610.
System Knowledge: Deep understanding of bearing technologies and rotor-bearing-seal interactions.
Qualifications
Education: Masters degree or Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or related field.
Experience: Generally requires 4 years of experience in rotor-dynamics bearing design or high-performance turbomachinery
