Perform literature review of the state-of-art using scientific journals and standard methods
Define the relevant inputs and possible output of projects
Develop methods including creation of FE models from CAD or from segmentation of medical imaging (CT Scan, MRI…) and validation of the models against relevant data
Perform FE, analysis and effectively communicate the results to our customers
Recommend potential optimization for the product

We believe that you have
Phd or Master in Biomedicine, biology, physics, mechanics or equivalent.
