Help bring the next generation of life-changing medical technology to patients worldwide.

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 either cardiac electrophysiological systems to understand pacing and defibrillation therapies or cardiac mechanics 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 Computational Modeling 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:

•Develop computational FEA models of device and cardiac lead assemblies

•Understand physical constraints and use-conditions relevant to the cardiac device/lead and translate them to appropriate boundary conditions in the FEA model

•Solve the FEA models to obtain the resultant forces, displacements, stresses and strains

•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.

•Work collaboratively with cross-functional product development teams to help bring products to market

•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

•Provide peer feedback to others in the group on their work

•Generate intellectual property and aid in the evaluation of intellectual property

Must Have: Minimum Requirements

• Bachelors degree required

• Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with a minimum of 2 years relevant experience

Nice to Have:

· PhD in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering with an emphasis in FEA

· 5+ years of working experience in FEA

· Demonstrated knowledge or expertise in cardiovascular physiology

· Experience with FEA software such as Abaqus CAE, Ansys, or LS-Dyna

· Experience with solid modeling software such as Pro/Engineer or Solidworks

· 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 using device design, optimization, testing verification, method validation, and regulatory submissions

· Demonstrated verbal and written communication skills

· Experience with programming/scripting in Python and Matlab

· Experience with Abaqus CAE (Explicit/Standard), Ansys, or LS-DYNA

· Experience with Mimics or Simpleware

· Electrophysiology modeling tools

· Ability to scope tasks and projects (time, resources and tools) to develop a schedule and update management.

· Ability to build relationships and work effectively with others on cross-functional teams

· Experience with CAD software such as Pro/Engineer or Solidworks
