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 investigations
Define modelling strategies, assumptions, and analysis scope
Perform 3D multi-body simulations of complete engine systems
Execute component-level vibration analysis and optimization (FEM dynamics)
Conduct driveline/shaftline dynamic analyses using in-house tools and codes
Interpret results related to vibration behavior, system response, and technical risk
Plan and perform vibration measurements, correlate test and simulation results
Support engine deliveries, plant simulations, and non-conformance handling
Contribute to reliability and risk assessments
Support Test, Inspection, Verification & Validation planning and technical follow-up
Review analysis work and mentor less experienced engineers
Drive 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 similar
Strong 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 techniques
Experience with shaftline/driveline dynamics is desirable
Programming/scripting skills (Python, MATLAB) for automation and method development

Personal qualities:

Ability to work independently with complex technical challenges and high responsibility
Strong communication skills and ability to operate effectively in a complex, cross-functional organization
Structured and proactive, with the ability to drive tasks and projects to completion
Effective in project execution, balancing technical depth with delivery focus
Collaborative mindset with the ability to influence decisions and align stakeholders

A key role in a highly specialized engineering environment
Opportunity to influence critical product performance and reliability
Work with advanced tools and in-house developed methodologies
Strong professional development within dynamic analysis and system engineering
A collaborative team with high technical competence and ownership
To be a part of a dedicated international team with a common goal to develop a greener future
Good development opportunities in an international environment
Competitive salary according to qualifications and a common bonus system
Good work and life balance, through e.g. flexible work hours and holiday schemes
Good pension and insurance schemes
Discounts with different companies and cottage to rent in Kvamskogen
An active welfare club
Multiple company sports departments
