Skill Requirements

• Lateral and torsional rotordynamics; critical speeds and stability
• Bearing and seal dynamic coefficients; blade dynamics and Campbell diagrams
• FEA / modal; DyRoBeS / ANSYS; Python/Matlab

Responsibilities

• Interface with Responsible Engineers to provide inputs for design, generate predictions for candidate designs, and ensure that REs have a clear understanding of the physical phenomena they are dealing with
• Prepare, run, and post-process relevant simulation models including FEA, CFD, and Heat Transfer as applicable
• Analyze test, qualification, and field data in collaboration with REs to qualify hardware and maintain fleet reliability
• Drive simplicity into the Parallax analysis stack by developing simplified and reduced-order models that conservatively capture physical phenomena at the minimum level of complexity that enables functional hardware
