Purpose Statement

Responsible for providing mechanical engineering support in the creation and the development of new medical device products (invasive and non-invasive).

Key Responsibilities:

The individual should be a team play who is willing to collaborate and work in cross-functional teams across geographies and cultures. Should be comfortable working in matrix organizational structure.

• Perform finite element modeling and simulations using ABAQUS/ANSYS/HYPERWORKS or other FEA software. 
• Successfully apply FEA in early product development stage to assess structural integrity risks and optimize mechanical performance. 
• Assist team in development of robust mechanical design by imparting knowledge of material properties, strength of materials, component-level mechanical testing etc.
• Assist team in material testing (tensile, hardness, impact, bend etc.) as per the ASTM (or other industry recognized) standards.
• Verify/validate FEA models by experimentation, hands-on experimental testing and tear down of failed products. 
• Develop new simulation tools/capabilities as needed
• When required help teams to perform appropriate testing to verify product meets design requirements.
• Train and/or provide work direction to technicians and less experienced engineers.
• Develop and coach others on engineering documentation required as project deliverables.
• Lead engineering teams to the successful completion of project goals.
• Demonstrate product development knowledge through coaching and delivery of high quality project deliverables.
• Work with SMEs on material failure analysis to determine the root cause of failure and make recommendations to the teams.
• Verify/validate FEA models by experimentation, hands-on experimental testing and tear down of failed products. 
• Develop new simulation tools/capabilities as needed
• When required help teams to perform appropriate testing to verify product meets design requirements.
• Train and/or provide work direction to technicians and less experienced engineers.
• Develop and coach others on engineering documentation required as project deliverables.
• Lead engineering teams to the successful completion of project goals.
• Demonstrate product development knowledge through coaching and delivery of high quality project deliverables.
• Reviews or coordinates vendor activities to support development.

Academic Qualification and Experience:

• Masters (or higher) degree in engineering (mechanical, biomedical, or equivalent) with 3+ years of experience.
• Finite element analysis (FEA) and highly non-linear simulation knowledge is required. Experience with non-linear material behaviors of plastics, rubbers, metals, and a shape memory alloy is preferred. Familiarity with the mechanics of soft tissues is a plus.
• Previous experience with finite element analysis software, such as ABAQUS, ANSYS or HYPERWORKS, is required.
• Strong independent problem solving and analytical skills required.
• Previous experience in material testing (tensile, compression, impact, bend, fatigue etc.), failure analysis, and related equipment is a plus.
• General engineering design principles, basic knowledge of design of experiments (DOE), design optimization, free-body diagrams and close-form solutions is preferred.
• Familiarity with SolidWorks CAD software is a plus.
• Ability to work effectively both in a team setting and independently, and manage multiple projects concurrently.
• A willingness to learn and adopt new methodologies and skills, and accept new challenges and responsibilities.
• Writing skills required to produce high quality technical reports.
• Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) of computational models 

• Computer skills in both Windows and Linux. Setting up and executing simulations using High-Performance Computing (HPC) resources.
• R&D / NPD experience in medical device industry is preferred.

Soft Skills

• Excellent Communication, presentation and interpersonal skills with proficiency in English (verbal and written).
• A positive attitude, innovative and creative thinker.
• Responsible risk taking and risk management.
• Experience in working with global and virtual team and working in a cross cultural environment.
