Vibration Engineer

About the Role

The role entails a deep understanding of rotating machinery and industrial equipment, as well as the ability to provide technical guidance on implementation, troubleshooting, and best practices. The Vibration Engineer will be responsible for conducting sensor testing, route-based testing, and product support testing to validate hardware and software performance in real-world applications. This position requires strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as the ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

The Vibration Engineer will be part of a dynamic team that values innovation, collaboration, and customer satisfaction. The company offers a fully remote work arrangement, providing the opportunity to work from anywhere in the United States, excluding California, Illinois, and New York.

What You Will Do

• Act as the subject matter expert on Vibration Analysis, Vibration Monitoring Systems, and Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA), providing deep technical guidance on implementation, troubleshooting, and best practices.
• Support customer-facing activities, including technical consultations, demonstrations, on-site support, and training to ensure successful adoption of Vibration and ESA solutions.
• 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 from a user perspective, specifically 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, recommend appropriate solutions, and support the successful implementation of vibration monitoring programs and ESA technologies.
• Collaborate closely with the Principal Applications Engineer and Sales team to develop and deliver tailored technical proposals, system configurations, and integration strategies.
• Troubleshoot complex vibration-related and ESA-related issues in industrial applications, including motors, pumps, compressors, turbines, and other rotating equipment.
• Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for both internal stakeholders and customers.
• Stay current with advancements in vibration analysis technologies, ESA methodologies, predictive maintenance tools, and emerging technologies.

What We Are Looking For

• 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 (routes, spectra, waveforms, ODS, modal analysis, etc.) and ESA.
• Proven ability to work with limited oversight and independently 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, or equivalent).
• Excellent collaboration, analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to travel as needed for customer consultations and on-site implementations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

Nice to Have

• Experience with predictive maintenance tools and emerging technologies.
• Knowledge of programming languages, such as Python or C++.
• Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools, such as Excel or Tableau.
• Certification in a related field, such as condition-based maintenance or reliability engineering.

Benefits and Perks

• Fully remote work arrangement, with the opportunity to work from anywhere in the United States, excluding California, Illinois, and New York.
• Competitive salary, with a range of
  05,000 -

  42,000 depending on years of experience.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, retirement plan, and paid time off.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development, with access to training and certification programs.
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment, with a team that values innovation, customer satisfaction, and employee well-being.
• Flexible work schedule, with the ability to work from home or a remote location.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and tools, with the opportunity to work with the latest vibration analysis and ESA equipment.

• To stand out as a candidate, be sure to highlight your experience with vibration analysis and electrical signature analysis, as well as your ability to work independently and manage complex projects.
• Develop a strong understanding of the company's products and services, and be prepared to provide technical guidance and support to customers.
• Familiarize yourself with the company's technology and tools, including vibration data collection and analysis software.
• Be prepared to provide examples of your experience with predictive maintenance and reliability engineering, and explain how you have applied these principles in previous roles.
• Consider obtaining certifications in related fields, such as condition-based maintenance or reliability engineering, to demonstrate your expertise and commitment to the field.
• Be prepared to discuss your experience with customer-facing technical roles, and explain how you have provided technical support and guidance to customers in the past.
• Research the company's culture and values, and be prepared to explain how your own values and work style align with those of the company.
