Simulation Modeling Engineer

Project overview

For our customer, we are looking for a Simulation & Modeling Engineer (m/f/d) to support the process, starting immediately.

Responsibilities

• Building nonlinear finite element models of apparatus and surrounding anatomy, including contact and large deformations
• Modeling the time-dependent material behavior of thermoplastics and photopolymers (viscoelasticity, stress relaxation)
• Deriving material parameters from mechanical tests and calibrating models against measurement data (inverse parameter identification)
• Planning and conducting associated material tests, designing test fixtures
• Automating model building and evaluation, so that not only individual cases but many cases can be assessed
• Documenting assumptions, model limitations, and validation at a level suitable for technical documentation
• Collaborating with Clinical, Material Development, and external partners; preparing results for non-expert audiences

Requirements

Advantageous

• Several years of practical experience with nonlinear FEM (Abaqus or comparable), including contact and nonlinear material models
• Experience in validating simulations against experimental data
• Scripting for automation and evaluation (Python, MATLAB)
• Very good English, both written and spoken
• Viscoelastic material characterization (relaxation tests, Prony series)
• Experience in Computational Engineering desirable
• Biomechanics of soft tissue or dental applications
• Model building from 3D scan or image data
• Experience in the regulated medical device environment
