Senior Managing Biomechanist (Accident Reconstruction)

The Role:The Senior Managing Biomechanist leads a team of expert engineering staff in human-injury analysis in vehicular accidents premises liability and slip-and-fall incidents. Analyses of injury biomechanics may require reconstructing vehicular accidents slip-and-fall incidents or determination of factors responsible for development of the incident. This position requires extensive experience in forensic biomechanical analyses. This role performs investigations focusing on musculoskeletal biomechanics to determine the relationship between accident modes and injuries requires evaluation and analysis of biomechanical systems including voluntary and involuntary human motions assessment of situations leading to the accident and reconstructing the accidents.
