Job Description
At Medtronic you can begin a life-long career of exploration and innovation while helping champion healthcare access and equity for all. Youll lead with purpose breaking down barriers to innovation in a more connected compassionate world.
A Day in the Life
This position will provide highly specialized computational modelling 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 Modelling Engineer will understand business requirements formulate a modelling approach that will address those requirements independently carry out the modelling activities and provide concise communication of the results through technical reports and presentations.
Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
- Perform theoretical and finite element analysis (FEA) to predict cardiac system behaviour under in vivo and in vitro types of load conditions
- 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
- Apply modelling 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
Required Knowledge and Experience:
- PhD in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering with an emphasis in FEA
- Experience in FEA
- Demonstrated knowledge or expertise in cardiovascular physiology
- Experience with FEA software such as Abaqus CAE Ansys or LS-Dyna
- Experience with comparing FEA results with strains and strain imaging techniques like Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
