• Design cryogenic mechanical seals, able to function in the harsh conditions of eg. LOX
• Dimensioning and analysis of super precision ball bearings for use in cryogenic conditions
• Dimensioning and analysis of hydrostatic and -dynamic bearings and magnetic bearings
• Performing rotordynamic simulations and adjust bearing stiffness, damping, etc to reach a functioning design
• Design for production and assembly
• Testing of designs
• Design and plan integration with other subsystems

Experience/Knowledge (Not necessary to fulfill all of these)

• Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering/Applied Physics/Applied Mathematics degree
• Specialized on tribology and material science
• Experience of engineering processes and tools for rotating machines
• Analysis of bearings (esp. ball bearings)
