Do you want to shape reliability and dynamic performance of advanced power systems?
On behalf of our client Bergen Engines we are seeking a Senior R&D Engineer.
About Bergen Engines:
Bergen Engines is a leading developer and manufacturer of medium-speed engines and power solutions for marine and energy applications. Our products deliver reliable power for critical operations worldwide. Our vision is to provide sustainable, efficient, and reliable energy solutions, supporting the transition to lower-emission and future-ready power systems through continuous innovation and engineering excellence.
About the Department
The Engineering Analysis & Materials Technology department is Bergen Engines Group’s centre of excellence for structural and dynamic analysis of engines, gensets, and critical components.
We own shaftline dynamics for the complete drivetrain (engine–generator/gear –shafting–propeller) and are responsible for reliability assessments, simulation methodologies, and verification programs. The team supports new product development, portfolio improvements, engine deliveries, and OEM/Service operations.
Role Purpose
As a Senior R&D Engineer – Dynamic Analysis, you will independently perform advanced dynamic analyses and act as a key contributor to technical quality, reliability, and engineering problem-solving within dynamic systems and shaftline-related topics.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead dynamic analysis work for complex components, systems, and investigationsDefine modelling strategies, assumptions, and analysis scopePerform 3D multi-body simulations of complete engine systemsExecute component-level vibration analysis and optimization (FEM dynamics)Conduct driveline/shaftline dynamic analyses using in-house tools and codesInterpret results related to vibration behavior, system response, and technical riskPlan and perform vibration measurements, correlate test and simulation resultsSupport engine deliveries, plant simulations, and non-conformance handlingContribute to reliability and risk assessmentsSupport Test, Inspection, Verification & Validation planning and technical follow-upReview analysis work and mentor less experienced engineersDrive method development and efficiency improvements (e.g., Python, MATLAB, model reuse)Perform and document analyses in compliance with classification society rules (e.g., DNV, ABS), supporting certification and approval activities
Qualifications & Experience:
MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or similarStrong experience in dynamic analysis, preferably within engines, rotating machinery, or drivetrain systems
Competence in:
3D multi-body simulation (MBS)FEM dynamics (modal, harmonic, transient, FRF)Vibration analysis and measurement techniquesExperience with shaftline/driveline dynamics is desirableProgramming/scripting skills (Python, MATLAB) for automation and method development
