CAE – Engineers for Life science with focus on the end users

Our Life Science team at ALTEN Sweden (Göteborg office) is now expanding within CAE related to biomaterials, biomechanics, medical technology, microclimate electromagnetics and fluid handling. We are looking for skilled engineers with either a background from and/or a great passion for Life Science related to Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamic and electronical simulations to join our team at our office in Lindholmen. 

As a consultant at ALTEN, you will get the genuine team feeling at your assignment but also a wonderful togetherness at ALTEN. Through our different internal networks, such as ALTEN Sports, Women@ALTEN and ALTEN Innovation you will get the opportunity to drive topics and activities that are close to your heart, together with your colleagues. All activities are of course optional. Work life balance is our top priority. We also have a collective agreement and other benefits like Pension, Insurances and Wellness grants.

Recent increases in computational power are opening research areas that the Life Sciences Industry is willing to investigate, offering a cost effective alternative to clinical or laboratory experiments. With knowledge in physiology and biomechanics and with appropriate validation, the FEM, CFD and EMC offer great tools for a better understanding of the biomechanics of the tissues and of the interaction between the human body and medical devices. Our biotech team in the Analytics department at ALTEN is currently working with several projects for some of the largest Life Sciences company in Scandinavia. We need to find the right competences to support more and more our customers in their projects.

Our missions include the creation of anatomical models and the simulation and analysis of the interaction with devices. Therefore, you must be ready to:

- Support our Life Sciences customer to define the appropriate scope and resources for their needs.

- 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 or CFD models from CAD or from segmentation of medical imaging (CT Scan, MRI…) and validation of the models against relevant data.

- Perform FE, CFD and EMC analysis and effectively communicate the results to our customers.

- Recommend potential optimization for the product.

We are now seeking skilled engineers with a real professional experience in both CAE (Finite Element, Computational Fluid Dynamic and Electro Magnetic Simulation) and Life Sciences. You should at least have a master degree or PhD in Biomedicine, biology, physics, mechanics or equivalent. The most relevant skills are:

-FEM, CFD or EMC, simulation and material modeling, especially with Ansa, Abaqus, Ansys, Nastran, Comsol, OpenFoam, Fluent.

- Biomechanics, biomaterials, implant and orthopedics.

- Ergonomics, comfort analysis.

- Biotechnology, biomedical engineering, medical engineering, biomedicin.

- Fluid mechanics, rheology, FSI, diffusion and absorption models.

- Acoustic and vibration analysis.

- Electromagnetic and/or high frequent simulations.

- Skills within Matlab or CAD software would also be relevant.

We will not consider applicants without a professional experience in simulation and without background in Life Science or something related to the field.

You should be fluent in English, both spoken and written. Swedish is a plus. We are expecting excellent communication skills, ease to translate complicated computational concepts to the public, and a collaborative approach with co-worker and customers.

We look forward to your application!

Please note: Between 18th of December 2020 to the 7th of January 2021 we will not be able to answer questions due to vacation. No selection will be made during this period. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
