[Simulation] Senior Simulation Engineer

Company Overview

SHL Medical is a world-leading solution provider in the design, development and manufacturing of advanced drug delivery systems with more than 5000 employees worldwide. Our customers include top pharmaceutical and biotech companies from around the globe that require innovative devices such as auto injectors or pen injectors to effectively deliver their drugs. Headquartered in Switzerland since late 2018.

Taiwan has been SHL’s starting ground in our bid for global mobility in the fields of drug delivery and medical technology. Our ambitious people who come from various cultures share the same aspiration – ensuring the right drug device for the delivery of modern precision medicine.

Job Overview

The Global Simulation Department, under the umbrella of CTO organization, provides simulation support in initial design phases to ensure feasibility, quality and robustness. The main department responsibilities entail product development, simulation models development and validation, material model development and validation, documentation of best simulation practices/workflows, training materials development and training support. The Structural Simulation Engineer with material focus (m/f) reports to the Global Simulation Manager and is responsible to plan and perform simulation tasks during innovation, product development and product care as well as participating in and running projects to build and improve material and simulation models. As part of the Global Simulation team, he/she will closely collaborate with simulation, testing and process experts based across our global sites in Switzerland, Taiwan and Sweden to drive alignment and gather, develop and document know how. Based on experience and qualifications, the role could be extended to Sr. Engineer role.

Main Responsibilities

• Scoping, planning, execution and review of structural FEA simulation tasks
• Support innovation, design, manufacturing process development and Root Cause Analysis
• Interface with designers to recommend design changes required based on the analysis results
• Author high quality technical reports, simulation workflows, procedures and training material.
• Support simulation capabilities development and optimal workflow definitions.
• Collaborate with material test labs to drive material model developments activities including (sample preparation, testing and data processing workflows)
• Drive the development, organization and dissemination of knowledge in relation to material properties, test results and material models.
• Collaborate with Design, Test and Process engineers to define simulation needs and verification activities
• Collaborate and effectively communicate with internal and external customers to ensure simulation results are well communicated and understood

Required Skills & Qualifications
