A Day in the Life
The Senior Principal Engineer – FEA & CFD provides thought leadership in advanced simulation to support product design, development, and verification of medical devices. This role acts as a recognized technical authority for structural and fluid simulations, driving modelling strategy, solving complex engineering problems, and influencing product and technology decisions across R&D; teams. The role partners closely with cross functional stakeholders to enable simulation driven development and to support regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:
Lead advanced FEA and CFD analyses for complex medical device systems, including nonlinear structural, energetic/impact, and advanced material modelling.
Plan, execute, and review CFD simulations for internal and external flows, multiphase flows, heat transfer, fluid–structure interaction (FSI), and particle tracking.
Define, communicate, and drive simulation strategies aligned with product requirements, design objectives, risk management, and verification needs.




Provide actionable design guidance based on structural, thermal, and fluid behaviour insights to improve performance, reliability, and manufacturability
Model Development, Verification and Validation
Develop, calibrate, and maintain robust FEA/CFD models, including material models, contact definitions, and boundary conditions.
Establish and maintain simulation verification and validation (V&V;) frameworks and procedures to ensure model credibility and appropriate use.
Correlate simulation results with bench testing, animal studies, clinical data, and relevant historical data, and document evidence in DHF and regulatory submissions.
Support design verification, risk mitigation, and root cause investigations using simulation to explain failure modes and inform corrective actions.
Innovation and Continuous Improvement
Drive innovation in simulation methodologies, including automation, reduced‑order
