What is a Rotor Dynamics Engineer job?

A Rotor Dynamics Engineer specializes in the analysis and design of rotating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, and engines, to ensure their stability, efficiency, and reliability. They use computational tools and simulations to study vibration, imbalance, and resonance effects, helping to prevent mechanical failures. Their work is crucial in industries like aerospace, energy, and automotive engineering.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Rotor Dynamics Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Rotor Dynamics Engineer, you need a strong background in mechanical or aerospace engineering, with expertise in vibration analysis, rotordynamics principles, and finite element modeling. Familiarity with software tools like ANSYS, MATLAB, and rotordynamics simulation packages, as well as certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), is often required. Effective problem-solving, attention to detail, and excellent collaborative communication skills are essential soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure accurate diagnosis and resolution of complex rotor system issues, which is critical to ensuring the safe and efficient operation of machinery.

What are the typical day-to-day responsibilities of a Rotor Dynamics Engineer?

As a Rotor Dynamics Engineer, your daily tasks often include analyzing vibrational data, developing computational models of rotating machinery, and diagnosing potential instabilities or failures. You’ll collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, such as design, testing, and manufacturing engineers, to optimize rotor designs and resolve technical challenges. Routine responsibilities may also involve conducting laboratory or field testing, preparing technical reports, and presenting findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This role offers a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment, with opportunities to impact product reliability and safety.

Job description

Job Description
Job Summary
If you're the kind of engineer who gets excited by vibration plots, high-speed machinery, and solving problems most people don't even know exist, this role was built for you. As a Rotor Dynamics Analyst at Centrus Energy, you'll work at the cutting edge of gas centrifuge technology-supporting systems that play a critical role in clean energy and national security. From analyzing complex rotating systems to improving real-world manufacturing performance, you'll combine deep technical expertise with hands-on engineering problem solving in an environment where innovation moves fast and every detail matters.
What You'll Do
You'll partner closely with engineering, manufacturing, and testing teams to keep high-speed rotating systems operating at peak performance. In this role, you'll analyze vibration and operational data, perform rotor dynamic modeling and simulations, support rotor balancing activities, and help troubleshoot complex equipment behavior. You'll also conduct dynamic testing, apply digital signal processing techniques, develop custom diagnostic tools, and contribute to the continuous improvement of test procedures and automation efforts. Along the way, you'll serve as a technical expert in rotor dynamics and vibration analysis while helping drive innovation across advanced centrifuge technology programs.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering field
  • 5+ years of experience in rotor dynamics, vibration analysis, or related technical disciplines
  • Strong knowledge of high-speed rotating machinery dynamics and system behavior
  • Experience with vibration diagnostics, modal analysis, and rotating equipment troubleshooting
  • Proficiency in modeling and simulation of rotating systems
  • Experience applying digital signal processing techniques to engineering data
  • Familiarity with software development and engineering analysis tools, with Python strongly preferred
  • Experience using Finite Element Analysis software such as ANSYS or similar platforms
  • Solid understanding of mechanical vibrations and system dynamics
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a "Q" clearance

A Successful Candidate Brings:
  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
  • 8+ years working with gas centrifuges or other ultra-high-speed rotating systems
  • Familiarity with automated testing, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems
  • Ability to thrive in both independent and highly collaborative engineering environments
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present technical findings clearly to cross-functional teams
  • An active or previously held Q-level security clearance

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
This position will require a pre-employment background check and a pre-employment drug test.
Centrus Energy and all subsidiaries shall abide by the applicable legal requirements. We prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals based on their status as protected veterans or individuals with disabilities and prohibit discrimination against all individuals based on their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or national origin.
This position requires the successful candidate to obtain and maintain a Q security clearance. Candidates for positions requiring a security clearance are required to be tested for the absence of any illegal drug as defined in 10 CFR 707.4 prior to an offer of employment being made. In addition, once employed, employees will become part of a random drug testing program and may also be tested in the event of any incident causing injury or causing damage to property, or if it is determined that there is a reasonable suspicion the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This position will require preemployment background check on the part of the Company and in order to receive a Q security clearance, a background investigation by the Federal government. Subsequent Federal government reinvestigations may be required.
