What is a rotor dynamics engineer?

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 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.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a rotor dynamics engineer, 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.

Job description

iRocket is pushing the frontier of reusable rocket propulsion. We’re looking for a Turbo Pump Engineer to design, analyze, and test turbomachinery for our reusable engines.

The Role

  • Design, model, build, and test high-performance turbopumps (inducers/impellers/diffusers) for cryogenic rocket engines.
  • Perform hydrodynamic, aerodynamic, bearing, and rotor-dynamics analysis for rotating assemblies.
  • Develop manufacturing plans and build books, manage tolerance stack-ups, and ensure as-built compliance.
  • Monitor performance trends, analyze cavitation, vibration, thrust-balance, and clearance growth.
  • Execute root-cause investigations, iterate designs to improve cost, lead-time, and reliability.
  • Work cross-functionally with manufacturing, test, and propulsion design teams.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
  • 3+ years of turbomachinery or rocket-engine component experience, including design/build/test of turbopumps or related systems.
  • Strong knowledge of fluid/rotordynamics, cryogenics, bearings, and rotating machine behavior.
  • Proficiency in CAD (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, etc.), CFD/FEA, and test instrumentation.
  • Experience with machined, additively-manufactured parts, weldments, fasteners, seals, and rotating assemblies.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills, and ability to lead hardware workflows to delivery.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)
  • Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
  • Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Short Term & Long Term Disability
  • Wellness Resources
