Sr. R&D Engineer - Simulation & Modeling
Align Technology, Morrisville, North Carolina, United States, 27560
Responsibilities
Lead the cutting‑edge 3D printing technologies by leveraging innovative finite element models and machine learning approaches to optimize and understand the additive manufacturing process, enhancing the production of dental and orthodontic devices.
Lead the machine learning projects for orthodontic system design and manufacturing, from initial data analysis and model development to optimization, deployment, and ongoing monitoring, leveraging massive clinical research database.
Lead the development of a state‑of‑the‑art finite element analysis (FEA/FEM) platform of orthodontic systems leveraging cutting edge computational algorithms.
Lead the development of robust methods for difficult‑to‑model conditions leveraging advanced commercial FEA/FEM software.
Work cross‑functionally with the software team to deploy computational models to very large scales, with design team to integrate model‑driven components into the product, with materials and process team to calibrate physical models, and with clinical team to run studies for model validation.
Work independently to develop and evaluate new products or solutions or to adapt and improve existing ones using computational modeling and physical experiments.
Design, build, and verify test hardware, software, and systems as needed.
Define and conduct procedures for bench top testing to evaluate product performance, including efficacy, reliability, verification, and validation, as needed.
Work with clinical team to conduct pilot studies and other investigations.
Perform and document work in accordance with FDA/ISO regulations, including test protocols, test results, and other requirements.
Communicate with professionals in the field at all levels and transition information into product improvement.
Provide general engineering support in R&D.
Qualifications
Education:
MS + 6 years or PhD + 3 years in Biomedical/Mechanical/Computer Science/Engineering, Statistics or other related degrees/equivalent work experience.
Experience and Skills:
