________________________________________________________________________________
This position will provide highly specialized computational modeling expertise in design and development of innovative products to treat cardiac diseases. The emphasis will be on modelling mechanical systems to predict forces, stresses and strains within the heart and medical devices subjected to in vivo load conditions. Bearing in mind first principles, the Senior R/D Engineer will understand business requirements, formulate a modeling approach that will address those requirements, independently carry out the modeling activities and provide concise communication of the results through technical reports and presentations.
A Day in the Life:
Perform theoretical and finite element analysis (FEA) to predict cardiac system behavior under in vivo and in vitro types of load conditions. This individual will develop technical solutions to complex problems that require the regular use of creativity and critical thinking.
Primary responsibilities will consist of the following:
· Work collaboratively with cross-functional product development teams to help bring products to market
· Understand physical constraints and use-conditions relevant to the cardiac device/lead and translate them to FEA models with appropriate input (methods, materials, constraints)
· Solve the FEA models to obtain the resultant forces, displacements, stresses and strains
· Effectively communicate results of the model and it's implication to the device/lead design team
· Together, with research & development members, identify research goals and best applicability of computational models.
· Apply modeling tools to help design and develop new test methods, and integrate new materials and processes
· Regularly update methods and implementation to improve efficiency, applicability, and to maintain state-of-the-art practices.
· Carry out timely troubleshooting by engaging peers, software technical support, and past experience
· Perform model verification study and validation assessment as appropriate
· Provide regular status updates to internal customers and management
· Prepare reports and presentations to communicate technical assessments and analysis results
· Provide technical input supporting submissions to regulatory bodies and governmental agencies
TECHNICAL SKILLS
Must Have
- 2+ years working experience in FEA
- Experience with FEA software such as Abaqus CAE, Ansys, or LS-Dyna
- Experience with solid modeling software such as Pro/Engineer or Solidworks
Nice To Have
- Ability to perform FEA for the purpose of device design, optimization, testing verification, method validation, and regulatory submissions
- Demonstrated knowledge or expertise in cardiovascular physiology
- Experience in working methods for low and high-cycle fatigue
- Experience with comparing FEA results with strains and strain imaging techniques like Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
- Experience with programming/scripting in Python and Matlab
