Job Description

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.
