Job Title

We are seeking a highly experienced and technically proficientVibration Consultantto collaborate in the development of an advanced vibration analysis system for railway locomotive applications. This system will continuously monitor motor RPM and vibration signatures, compute advanced statistical indicators and perform frequency domain transformations such as FFT. The consultant will play a pivotal role in advising on the correct methodologies, identifying critical failure indicators and validating the analytical models used in the system.Note :This is a short-term consulting engagement for a duration of2 to 3 months , with the possibility ofextension based on performance and project requirements .Key Responsibilities Provide domain expertise in vibration signal analysis for railway locomotives, including traction motors and rotating equipment. Guide the selection and implementation of appropriate time-domain features such as: RMS Peak-to-Peak Crest Factor Kurtosis Skewness Standard Deviation Advise on optimal frequency-domain analysis techniques, including Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for identifying harmonic and subharmonic components. Recommend data segmentation, binning techniques and other pre-processing methods suitable for real-time and batch analysis. Work closely with data scientists and ML engineers to validate algorithms used for anomaly detection, classification and pattern recognition. Assist in defining vibration thresholds, alarm levels and fault classification standards based on ISO or industry best practices. Support in data acquisition strategy and mounting location design to ensure reliable and high-quality data capture. Review and verify the integrity of vibration datasets and suggest improvements in data quality, sampling frequency and windowing techniques. Provide technical documentation and assist in preparing reports, dashboards and predictive maintenance insights.Required Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or related field. Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in vibration analysis, ideally within the railway, transportation, or heavy machinery industries. Certifications in Vibration Analysis (e.g., Category II or III certified). Strong understanding of vibration signal processing, both in time & frequency domains. In-depth knowledge of rotating machinery diagnostics & fault symptom identification. Proficiency in relevant software tools. Familiarity with ISO 20816 / ISO 7919 and other relevant vibration standards. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a detail-oriented mindset. Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex vibration concepts to non-experts.
