A Day in the Life

Exciting opportunity for an experienced Computational Cardiac Physiology Modeling Engineer to Perform theoretical and finite element analysis (FEA) to predict cardiac system behavior under in vivo and in vitro types of load conditions. This individual will develop technical solutions to complex problems that require the regular use of creativity.

Provide highly specialized computational modeling expertise in design and development of innovative products to treat cardiac diseases. The emphasis will be on modelling either cardiac electrophysiological systems to understand pacing and defibrillation therapies or cardiac mechanics to predict forces, stresses and strains within the heart and medical devices subjected to in vivo load conditions. Bearing in mind first principles, the Senior Computational Modeling Engineer will understand business requirements, formulate a modeling approach that will address those requirements, independently carry out the modeling activities and provide concise communication of the results through technical reports and presentations.

Primary responsibilities will consist of the following:

• Develop computational FEA models of device and cardiac lead assemblies
• Understand physical constraints and use-conditions relevant to the cardiac device/lead and translate them to appropriate boundary conditions in the FEA model
• Solve the FEA models to obtain the resultant forces, displacements, stresses and strains
• Together, with research & development members, identify research goals and best applicability of computational models.
• Apply modeling tools to help design and develop new test methods, and integrate new materials and processes
• Regularly update methods and implementation to improve efficiency, applicability, and to maintain state-of-the-art practices.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional product development teams to help bring products to market
• Carry out timely troubleshooting by engaging peers, software technical support, and past experience
• Perform model verification study and validation assessment as appropriate
• Provide regular status updates to internal customers and management
• Prepare reports and presentations to communicate technical assessments and analysis results
• Provide technical input supporting submissions to regulatory bodies and governmental agencies
• Provide peer feedback to others in the group on their work
• Generate intellectual property and aid in the evaluation of intellectual property

We are working onsite a minimum of 4 days per week as part of our commitment to fostering a culture of professional growth and cross-functional collaboration as we work together to engineer the extraordinary. This role will require less than 10% of travel to enhance collaboration and ensure successful completion of projects.
Required Knowledge and Experience: Requires a BS degree and minimum of 4 years of relevant experience OR an MS degree with a minimum of 2 years relevant experience OR a PhD with 0 years relevant experience. Demonstrated knowledge or expertise in cardiovascular physiology. Experience with FEA software such as Abaqus CAE, Ansys, or LS-Dyna. Experience with solid modeling software such as Pro/Engineer or SolidWorks.
