  • Familiarity with rotating machinery (pumps, turbines, motors) and structural behavior.
  • Hands-on experience with accelerometers, strain gauges, displacement sensors, and vibration analysis tools.
  • Navy Nuclear background or equivalent experience in high-reliability systems (e.g., shipboard propulsion, auxiliary systems).
  • BS / MS in Mechanical, Structural or related Engineering (Navy Nuclear training may supplement).
  • Willingness to travel (40%) for field instrumentation campaigns.
  • Eligible for Nuclear Unescorted Access Authorization.
  • Desired Skills / Qualifications :

  • Certifications in vibration analysis (ISO Category III / IV), RCA, or related diagnostic methods preferred.
