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, agile/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 au
