We are the makers of possible 

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health™ is our Purpose, and it’s no small feat. It takes the imagination and passion of all of us—from design and engineering to the manufacturing and marketing of our billions of MedTech products per year—to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities. 

We believe that the human element, across our global teams, is what allows us to continually evolve. Join us and discover an environment in which you’ll be supported to learn, grow and become your best self. Become a maker of possible with us. 

Responsibilities:

• Lead advanced nonlinear structural analysis using FEA tools (primarily Abaqus), modeling complex behaviors such as large deformations, time-dependent responses, and contact interactions.

• Develop, validate, and refine computational models and simulations to generate accurate product insights and support engineering decision-making.

• Provide technical leadership by advancing simulation capabilities, recommending new technologies, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to meet project goals.

• Integrate engineering tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Minitab) and develop automated workflows and custom modeling techniques to improve efficiency, repeatability, and analytical depth.

• Communicate technical findings through reports, presentations, and cross-functional collaboration while promoting simulation capabilities and contributing to a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum 5+ years of hands-on experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using tools such as Abaqus and Hypermesh, supporting complex structural simulations.

• Proficiency in CAD solid modeling using SolidWorks to develop and integrate designs with simulation workflows.

• Strong experience applying advanced FEA techniques for nonlinear behavior, including contact interactions and material modeling of plastics and/or elastomers.

• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and communicate technical simulation results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proven track record of managing multiple assignments in alignment with project priorities, supported by a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field, along with 8+ years of relevant experience.

Preferred Skills:

• M.S. with 6 years of relevant experience (preferred) 

• Ph.D. with 4 years of relevant experience (preferred) 

• Experience in the medical industry is a plus. 

Physical Demands:

• This role involves extended periods of computer use for simulation work, data analysis, and documentation. 

At BD, we prioritize on-site collaboration because we believe it fosters creativity, innovation, and effective problem-solving, which are essential in the fast-paced healthcare industry. For most roles, we require a minimum of 4 days of in-office presence per week to maintain our culture of excellence and ensure smooth operations, while also recognizing the importance of flexibility and work-life balance. Remote or field-based positions will have different workplace arrangements which will be indicated in the job posting.

For certain roles at BD, employment is contingent upon the Company’s receipt of sufficient proof that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. In some locations, testing for COVID-19 may be available and/or required.
