What You'll DoAs a Biomechanical Engineer, you will analyze complex injury and accident scenarios to determine the forces, motions, and mechanisms involved in human injury events.
Key Responsibilities- Perform biomechanical and injury causation analyses involving:
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Slip, trip, and fall incidents
- Falling-object cases
- Mechanical failures
- Recreational, industrial, and marine accidents
- Reconstruct accident events using:
- Engineering principles
- Computer simulations
- Physical models
- Scientific and medical research
- Evaluate occupant kinematics, seatbelt usage, airbag interactions, and occupant positioning in vehicle crashes
- Analyze medical records, imaging studies, accident reports, photographs, witness statements, depositions, and other case materials
- Conduct vehicle inspections, site evaluations, and field investigations
- Research and apply relevant scientific literature, industry standards, and governmental regulations
- Prepare clear, concise, and well-supported expert reports
- Present technical findings to attorneys, clients, and other stakeholders
- Provide expert testimony during depositions, arbitrations, and trials
What Makes You SuccessfulYou are:
- Naturally curious and investigative
- Comfortable working independently on complex technical problems
- Detail-oriented and scientifically rigorous
- Confident presenting findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Interested in becoming a trusted expert in your field
- Excited by a career that combines engineering, medicine, research, and real-world problem solving
Work Environment & TravelThis position offers a balance of office work and client interactions with occasional field investigations and inspections.
Responsibilities may include:
