About the RoleWe are looking for a Finite Element Analyst to join our Modeling & Simulation team. In this role, you will develop and execute finite element simulations to support the design, development, and validation of cardiovascular medical devices. You will work closely with cross-functional product teams to predict device performance, identify worst-case conditions, and accelerate product development through virtual testing. This role provides the opportunity to contribute across the full product lifecycle-from concept through commercialization-while leveraging advanced modeling techniques and collaborating with subject matter experts in materials, design, and testing.
This position will be located at one of our facilities in Flagstaff, or Phoenix Arizona, with the possibility of a hybrid work arrangement.
Responsibilities- Develop high-fidelity FEA models for structural, fatigue, and deployment simulations of medical devices
- Execute simulations (static and dynamic) to evaluate device performance under physiologic loading conditions
- Perform design of experiments (DOE) and parametric studies to inform design decisions
- Analyze and interpret simulation results (stress, strain, deformation, fatigue life) to guide development teams
- Collaborate with design, materials, and test teams to define appropriate boundary conditions and validation strategies
- Validate computational models against bench and/or in vivo data
- Identify worst-case scenarios to support durability testing and regulatory submissions
- Document and communicate results through technical reports and presentations
- Review and provide feedback on modeling approaches and analyses performed by peers
- Support continuous improvement of modeling workflows, tools, and best practices
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related field with a minimum of 3 years experience in finite element analysis
- Experience supporting product development using FEA
- Experience with medical devices, biomedical systems or other highly regulated environments
- Demonstrated experience using Abaqus (standard and explicit solvers) and experience with pre/post-processing tools and meshing techniques
- Proficient using CAD (SolidWorks and RhinoCAD)
- Experience with programming or scripting (Python, MATLAB, or similar) for automation and data processing
- Ability to analyze and interpret solid mechanics, material behavior, and fatigue analysis and experience with nonlinear analysis (contact, large deformation, material nonlinearity)
- Ability to independently manage multiple simulation projects, solve complex modeling challenges, and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams
- Excellent communication and technical documentation skills
- Ability to travel up to 5%
Desired Qualifications- Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in relevant field
- Experience with Nitinol or polymer-based device modeling and fatigue evaluation
- Experience applying machine learning techniques (e.g., regression, surrogate modeling, optimization) to accelerate design exploration or simulation workflows
