Job Description:

Ethicon’s Robotics & Digital Solutions business, part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, is recruiting for a Senior Modeling and Simulation Engineer, located in Cincinnati, OH. 

 

Robotics and Digital Solutions is part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech. At Johnson & Johnson Robotics and Digital Solutions, we’re changing the trajectory of health for humanity, using robotics to enhance healthcare providers’ abilities and improve patients’ diagnoses, treatments, and recovery times. Johnson & Johnson Robotics was established in 2020 with the integration of Auris Health, Verb Surgical, C-SATS, and Ethicon. It comprises three key MedTech platforms: Flexible Robotics (MONARCH®), Surgical Robotics (OTTAVA™), and Digital Solutions. Join our collaborative, rapidly growing teams in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City and Santa Clara), Cincinnati, and Seattle. You’ll collaborate on breakthrough medical technologies that unite multiple subject areas to build a connected digital ecosystem that advances medical professionals’ skills and improves patient outcomes.

R&D’s Modeling and Simulation (M&S) group based in Cincinnati is a group of specialists responsible for driving design optimization through high-end computational simulation. The group partners across the organization and uses a variety of tools, particularly finite element analysis (FEA), to gain insight into product performance. This role will be dedicated to Robotic instrument and accessories product development projects and impacting the organization broadly via executing basic and advanced simulation.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Execution of technical simulations in support of critical-to-function device and system interactions.

• Drive application of computational methods to solve problems, document and teach these methods.

• Advise business partners on a variety of challenging problems across the organization.

• Provide outstanding and consistent customer service and build strong working relationships and modeling trust.

• Understand the technical limitations and schedule constraints that project teams face and work to provide technical solutions that help reduce risk and cost while meeting their schedule needs.

• Strive to find innovative ways to grow the impact of simulation to our product development efforts. Help lead and grow this important capability.

• Develop and deploy customized/bundled functionality and tools (automation of workflow).

• Engineers within the M&S group become key technical specialists on various aspects of solving problems and are also encouraged to advance their knowledge base and to remain current in their fields of expertise.

Qualifications: 

Required Knowledge/Skills, Education, And Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Mechanics or a relevant field of study.

• 4+ years of Modeling and Simulation experience.

• Advanced mechanical design and analysis skills, including expertise with complex mechanism design, machine elements, and mechanical interfaces.

• Outstanding multi-functional communication, collaboration, and teaming skills with ability to lead cross functional meetings and influence cross functional decisions.

• History of technical capability and achievement, preferably supporting virtual development programs.

• Highly competent in using Finite Element Analysis software (Abaqus/FEA is preferred). Experience in Ansys COMSOL Multiphysics, NX Nastran, MSC Marc or other packages is an advantage).

• Expertise with developing and using 3D CAD models (SolidWorks prefe
