Amgens Combination Product Operations Digital and Data Strategies group is a process development team that develops and deploys innovative advanced simulation technologies towards improved process understanding, robustness and monitoring, and prediction and optimization of the manufacturing of combination products. In this vital role you will support the team by incorporating physics and empirical techniques to develop rigorous finite element models (FEM) and numerical models of drug delivery devices (in-silico modeling assets) and improving the way Amgen manages and uses in-silico models to enhance decision making within the organization.

The candidate will apply engineering principles to develop efficient and trustworthy models addressing a wide variety of challenging problems associated with advanced material modelling, device design, characterization, verification, validation, manufacturing and tolerance analysis. The ideal candidate enjoys tackling challenges and excels at developing functional in-silico models of combination products that enable insights for root cause investigation and design robustness supporting lifecycle management activities and complaint reduction.

• Implementing explicit and implicit FEM structural models.
• Ensuring that the approach and simplifications used to build these models is efficiently representing the physical system.
• Applying engineering principles like kinematic, structural, and tolerance analysis combined with material characterization and testing to create in-silico models able to capture the behavior of the device during use, assembly and transport.
• Continuous improvement of in-silico models, managing the lifecycle of the model and improving methods and work streams to guarantee efficiency and trustworthiness of the models.
• Demonstrating critical and analytical thinking skills to explore new opportunities in in-silico and data-driven computational models.
• Modeling real-world scenarios with the adequate level of detail and help inform the decision making in a reduced time frame.
• Simulate complaints and real-world issues within lifecycle of combination products.
• Being able to apply an analytical approach to create models that accurately represent the real world scenarios and helps identify the root cause analysis of any complaint.
• Providing positive leadership and delivering work in a fast-paced, multi-project, cross-functional environment.
• Delivering predictions and insight on time to solve challenging production and customer problems.
