Biomechanical Research and Testing Engineer II

Contribute to the advancement of ATEC's technologies by supporting biomechanical evaluation of spinal implants and instrumentation for new product development and biomechanics research. This involves planning and executing testing of devices according to recognized standards, and the design and execution of mechanical and cadaveric studies to evaluate device performance to generate high-quality experimental data, and interpreting/communicating results to cross-functional teams.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

* Lead the design and execution of cadaveric biomechanical studies.

* Collaborate with cross functional teams (e.g. R&D, Marketing, Regulatory, Sales) to identify evidence gaps and align research studies with product and business objectives.

* Conduct implant mechanical testing of moderate scope, according to recognized standards and internal procedures.

* Organize and analyze complex data sets, and contribute to the dissemination of scientific findings through presentation and writing for both internal and external audiences, including reports, conference abstracts, presentations, manuscripts, product collateral.

* Prepare clear, complete and accurate technical engineering documentation.

* Responsible for aspects of calibration, safety, maintenance, and efficient utilization of testing equipment to ensure optimal performance.

* Design and oversee fabrication of test fixtures for routine and custom testing requirements.

* Normally receives general instructions on routine work, detailed instructions on new projects or assignments.
