Position title
FEA Engineer
Description

The FEA Engineer is responsible for conducting structural computational modeling and simulations (CM&S) of structural heart and endovascular implants, as well as MRI heating CM&S for a wide range of medical devices. This role requires a driven, collaborative, proactive engineer who thrives on the challenge of working with new innovative medical devices and numerous clients within the medical device industry.

Responsibilities
  • Model (modification/generation) of part(s) geometry with SolidWorks®
  • Identify the appropriate material model(s) for the medical device and/or physical test configuration under study.
  • Develop nonlinear material models, as appropriate
  • Identify and ensuring appropriate constitutive relationships for an analysis.
  • Work with clients, company subject matter experts, and company engineers to develop boundary conditions that best model in vivo implant conditions
  • Perform structural computational modeling and simulations (CM&S) of medical devices and/or physical test configurations using Abaqus/Standard software
  • Perform MRI related heating simulations (CM&S) of medical devices of using Comsol Multiphysics® software
  • Generate CM&S reports suitable for regulatory submission.
  • Develop and incorporate Verification and Validation practices for CM&S activities following ASME V&V40.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or Master's degree (preferred) in Engineering
  • Experience with FE modeling (5+ years)
  • Experience with FE software (Abaqus/Standard) (Simulia Abaqus)
  • Experience with CAD software (SolidWorks®)
  • Experience with nonlinear mechanics, fatigue, and plasticity
  • Experience in writing CM&S reports (for medical device regulatory submissions, preferred)
  • Experience with structural heart / endovascular medical devices (e.g. stents, heart valves) (preferred)
  • Experience with multi-physics simulation software (Comsol Multiphysics® software) (preferred)
  • Experience with ASME V&V40 (preferred)
