Simulation & Modeling Engineer

Project overview

We are looking for an experienced Simulation & Modeling Engineer to support product development. You will build and validate nonlinear finite element models of medical devices and anatomical structures.

Your tasks include modeling complex systems with contact mechanics and large deformations, as well as characterizing the time-dependent material behavior of plastics and photopolymers. You will conduct material tests, derive material parameters from mechanical tests, and calibrate models against measurement data using inverse parameter identification.

A focus is on automating model building and evaluation to assess not only individual cases but also extensive scenarios. You will document assumptions, model limitations, and validation results at a level suitable for technical documentation.

You will work closely with clinical teams, material development, and external partners, and prepare complex results for non-expert audiences.

Several years of practical experience with nonlinear FEM software (such as Abaqus), knowledge in simulation validation against experimental data, and scripting skills in Python or MATLAB are required. Very good English, both written and spoken, is necessary.

Experience in viscoelastic material characterization, computational engineering, soft tissue biomechanics, model building from 3D scan data, and knowledge of the regulated medical device environment are advantageous.
