A Day in the Life

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
