Job Summary
In this role, you will be part of the analytical engineering team, performing computational simulations to support the development of new and existing product components, assemblies, and medical devices.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Works with Senior Mechanical Engineer to perform Moldflow (MF), structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of static and dynamic behavior of plastic injection molded components, assemblies, and medical devices.
Assist in identifying, investigating, and analyzing problems with existing materials, and design devise methods and approaches to solve problems by applying knowledge of engineering structures in MF, FEA, and CFD.
Collaborate with design and engineering teams to develop moldable and structurally stable part designs and to obtain more accurate MF, FEA and CFD analysis results.
Support product development in developing effective designs by using Moldflow, FEA, and CFD results to determine moldability, fluids dynamics, and structural deficiencies.
Collaborates with senior engineers to analyze and interpret MF, FEA and CFD results and recommend design changes as needed.
Drive and track progress of assigned projects and provide status update to project teams and or management.
Support the preparation of reports and presentations for internal, external, and cross functional teams to support program objectives.
Organize and participate in knowledge development/sharing activities within the team and company.
Perform other duties as assigned based on business needs.
Conform with and abides by all regulations, policies, work procedures, instruction, and all safety rules.
Exhibit regular, reliable, punctual, and predictable attendance.
Additional Responsibilities Education Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience in plastics, mechanical, or other engineering disciplines required Work Experience Minimum 3 years Experience in CAE 3D modeling knowledge required
Structural and/or fluids analysis experience preferred
Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities CAD experience (preferably Solidworks).
Polymer or related material knowledge.
Experience developing and executing Moldflow, FEA and CFD simulations (ANSYS, SIMULIA, COMSOL, preferred).
Experience with parametric modeling and design of experiments.
Experience with elastomer modeling or dynamic FEA (LS-dyna) or Multiphysics simulation experience (fluid-structure) a plus is preferred
GLP and GMP experience preferred.
Strong multi-tasking skills and ability to juggle/prioritize multiple programs.
Able to comply with the company’s safety policy at all times.
Able to comply with the company’s quality policy at all times
Understanding of mechanical principles to solve classical structural analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools.
Demonstrated ability to:
Prioritize and complete multiple technical projects and daily tasks.
Learn and apply new skills.
Understand and communicate technical ideas with technical and non-technical audiences (written and verbal)
License and Certifications Travel Requirements 10%: Up to 26 business days per year Physical Requirements Sedentary-Exerting up to 10lbs/4kgs of force occasionally, and/or negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Sedentary work involves sitting most of the time. Additional Requirements Must be able to interpret data, reading or writing, public speaking express or exchange ideas with employees, understand direction and adhere to established procedures.
Must be able to own and be held responsible for assigned activities while contributing to a team and collaborating with others across multiple business functions
