Senior Engineer – Simulation Analyst

Job Title

We are the people who give possibilities purpose

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health™ is our Purpose, and it's no small feat. It takes the imagination and passion of all of us—from design and engineering to the manufacturing and marketing of our billions of Med Tech products per year—to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute simulations capturing nonlinear behaviors such as large deformation, contact, and time-dependent effects.
• Perform advanced nonlinear structural modeling using FEA tools (Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, COMSOL) to solve complex engineering problems.
• Leverage numerical, statistical, and scripting tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, DOE) to automate workflows, generate insights, and support cross-functional decision-making.
• Develop and calibrate constitutive material models through lab testing to support accurate product simulations.
• Define and implement robust V&V strategies, including experimental correlation and documentation aligned with ASME V&V40.

Minimum Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical, Biomedical Engineering (or related) with 2–6+ years of relevant experience, and ability to manage priorities effectively.
• Extensive experience with nonlinear FEA tools applied to complex engineering problem-solving.
• Proficiency in CAD modeling, preferably using Solid Works.
• Experience developing constitutive material models for plastics and/or elastomers.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams.

Preferred

Skills:

• Experience testing plastics and elastomers to calibrate advanced constitive material models.
• Background in modeling and/or testing biological tissues, including familiarity with histological or imaging analysis techniques.
• Experience implementing custom material models (e.g., UMAT/VUMAT) and supporting regulatory submissions involving simulation data (e.g., ASME V&V40).
• Proficiency in simulation and modeling tools (Abaqus, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, COMSOL), along with data analysis and optimization tools (HEEDS, Minitab).
• Programming experience (Python, MATLAB) and hands-on use of testing equipment such as Instron and Cell Scale

Physical Demands: (if applicable)

This role requires physical activity associated with laboratory-based testing. This includes:

• Handling polymers and gases in a lab environment.
• Operating and setting up mechanical testing equipment (e.g., Instron, Tensile machine load cell changing).
• Performing repetitive tasks such as sample preparation, mounting, and alignment.
• Standing for extended periods during experimental procedures.
• Lifting and transporting lab equipment or test fixtures (typically
