Senior Engineer - Modeling and Simulation

What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world.

Identifying requirements and specifications suitable for in-silico evaluation of combination products.

Applying finite element analysis (FEA) and modeling and simulation (M&S) principles to develop, deploy, enhance, automate, and manage in-silico models for combination products.

Implementing in-silico models in commercial and proprietary software and deploying these models to internal users via enterprise modeling infrastructure.

Demonstrating critical and analytical thinking skills to explore new opportunities in in-silico and data-driven computational models and simulate complaints and real-world issues within lifecycle of combination products.

Providing positive leadership and delivering work in a fast-paced, multi-project, cross-functional environment.

Demonstrating modeling and visualization approaches as part of proof-of-concept projects

Taking ownership of developing and managing backlog of in-silico product content in Scrum and SAFe (Scale Agile Framework).

It is expected that the Senior Engineer – Modeling and Simulation will not only collaborate heavily with internal stakeholders such as design engineering, data scientists, and quality teams, but also document and communicate the underlying technical basis of the models for the benefit of and use by the broader engineering and scientific community responsible for design and manufacturing of drug delivery devices.
