What you will be doing

Software Engineer - High Performance Computing

Position Overview

The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is seeking a Software Engineer specializing in high-performance computing to supporting technical development projects within its new Institute for Technology Development (HSS ITD).  The role will initially focus on technical development within our groundbreaking Digital Twin Platform in Orthopedics project for our Digital Twin Platform in Orthopaedics project. This fully funded 4-year initiative will develop infrastructure to build patient-specific orthopedic digital twins to transform surgical planning and personalized care.    Within this project, you will collaborate with expert scientists to deploy and optimize biomechanical simulation engines.  This work will deploy physics-based knee models to a production cloud compute environment, optimize computational algorithms for real-time performance, and create the simulation backbone that enables surgeons to virtually test surgical strategies.
