Senior Biomechanist (Accident Reconstruction)

The Role:The Senior Biomechanist works with engineering staff in human-injury impact analysis in vehicular accidents reconstructing vehicular accidents consulting and analysis of injuries related to premises liability and slip-and-fall incidents and requires extensive experience in forensic biomechanical analyses. This role performs investigations focusing on musculoskeletal biomechanics to determine the relationship between accident modes and injuries and requires evaluation and analysis of biomechanical systems including voluntary and involuntary human motions assessment of situations leading to the accident and reconstructing the accidents. The role requires familiarity with legal depositions working with attorneys and claims the ideal candidate has experience working with network of external clientele (e.g. lawyers insurance carriers and adjusters etc.) and is experienced with building establishing and maintaining rapport with this is a fully remote role open to candidates located anywhere in the United States. Candidates located in the listed states are encouraged to This Role You Will:Inspect and measures expert testimony at trials depositions or other legal proceedings and communicates investigative findings in a manner easily understood by technical or non-technical audiences. Use computer models to reconstruct accidents and to measure load and injury detailed inspections of vehicles and accident sites and accurately analyzes crash sequences to identify contributing factors and the induced loading on the various documents to identify relevant information for an accident reconstruction or biomechanical engineering analysis (includes police reports medical records depositions expert reports legal pleadings and discovery documents videos photographs etc.)Perform simulations of vehicular collisions using advanced collision reconstruction software such as the effects of impact forces on occupants as a result of vehicular accidents. Determine human injury mechanisms in vehicular accidents and premises liability cases such as slip-and-fall accident reconstructions of single-vehicle rollovers single-vehicle impacts with fixed objects and multi-vehicle collisions (frontal side rear and sideswipe).Utilize engineering principles to calculate factors such as impact and departure speeds collision forces and trajectories of calculations with crash test reports of similar collisions to correlate damages based on calculated papers and journals related to vehicular accident reconstruction to understand and advance the scientific techniques used in reconstruction written conclusions of findings to assist others in understanding the evidence or in determining the facts at an active role in marketing YA Engineering Services to clients and to the forensic engineering You Bring:4 years of experience in biomechanics accident reconstruction and premises liability work or similar requiredDegree in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering requiredPrior deposition and courtroom testimony experience a plusExperience with CAD related to accident reconstruction PE license PhD SAE certification or ACTAR certificationFamiliarity with automotive engineering and automotive control systemsUnderstanding of billable hours or project-based workExperience collaborating with forensic animators to develop visual exhibits for deposition and trial supportExposure to performing and evaluating computer simulationsBased in (or planning to relocate to) the job locationTeamoriented with a strong passion for learningWho We Are: YA is an international professional services organization providing forensic consulting engineering risk mitigation and related services.
