The Associate Engineer, R&D Simulation supports simulation activities related to the development of orthopedic implants and instruments. The role involves assisting in performing simulations, documenting results, and learning how simulation contributes to design verification and regulatory compliance. The Associate Engineer works under close supervision and receives guidance from more senior engineers as part of a collaborative product development team.
What you will do:Under supervision, work with R&D, Product Development, Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing and Project Management to ensure project success.
Assist and perform under supervision simulations for design verification and validation of medical devices. This can include analysis using structural FEA or other simulation disciplines.
Support in adapting and setting up simulation models based on product needs.
Support data preparation and ensure proper documentation and traceability of simulations under supervision.
Assist with simulation planning, research, and testing, and support coordination with internal and external partners.
Learn to interpret simulation results with the support of senior engineers.
Understand and promote best practices, industry standards, and compliance with regulatory requirements in testing and simulation.
Support other tasks and projects as needed
What you need:Required
Fundamental knowledge and understanding of the corresponding simulation disciplines, e.g. structural FEA, or other simulation disciplines, and if applicable, relevant mechanical testing (and more broadly, device testing) within a regulated environment.
Bachelor’s degree in Electromechanical Engineering, mechanical Engineering or similar
Fluent in English: 85%
MS Office
Familiarity with CAD software packages such as SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, ProE, and Ansys
Basic knowledge of analytical tools and statistical methods.
Preferred:
Basic knowledge of regulatory and preclinical testing requirements for medical devices, including FDA, EU MDR, ISO, ASME, and ASTM guidelines.
Basic knowledge of design optimization, sensitivity analysis, model validation, and statistics.
Travel Percentage: 10%
