Senior FEA Engineer- 4+ years of experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), preferably in implants, medical devices or precision engineering domains

Job description

About This Role Position OverviewThis Senior Engineer – FEA role will support product development for orthopaedic implants and instruments for Acumed by performing advanced simulation and analysis.In this role, you will be responsible for developing and validating finite element models, correlating simulation results with real-world testing, and providing engineering insights to support design optimization. You will work closely with global engineering teams and follow best practices, engineering standards, and regulatory expectations relevant to medical devices. Mandatory Skills:4+ years of experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), preferably in implants, medical devices or precision engineering domainsStrong experience in structural analysis (linear & nonlinear simulations)Experience with ANSYS (Workbench & Classic); APDL knowledge is an added advantageProficiency in FE meshing techniques and model setupStrong analytical, problem-solving, and interpretation skillsGood communication and ability to work in a global engineering environment. Desired Skills:Experience in orthopaedic implant simulation under physiological loading conditions and validationStrong understanding of:Material, geometric, and contact nonlinearitiesFatigue analysis and life predictionExperience in modal, harmonic, transient, implicit & explicit analysisKnowledge of ISO & ASTM standards related to medical devicesFamiliarity with FDA / EU medical device regulationsExperience in correlation of simulation results with experimental and lab testing dataExposure to fatigue & fracture mechanicsUnderstanding of test methods and validation approaches for implantsAbility to generate high-quality technical reports and presentationsWorking knowledge of CAD tools (SolidWorks / SpaceClaim)Exposure to cross-functional collaboration with design, testing, and quality teams. Key Responsibilities: Perform FEA simulations to support product design and development of orthopaedic implantsTranslate real-world loading and boundary conditions into accurate simulation modelsDevelop and validate FE models for linear, nonlinear, and dynamic simulationsCorrelate simulation results with laboratory testing and experimental dataProvide design recommendations based on simulation insightsGenerate and present high quality CAE analysis reports with actionable insights to stakeholdersSupport development of CAE methodologies and best practicesCollaborate with global teams across design, testing, quality and regulatory functionsDemonstrate strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills while adapting to dynamic project priorities and working independently or within teams Opportunities for GrowthTake ownership of cross-functional engineering projects with exposure to global product development practicesBuild deep expertise in implant simulation and validation methodologiesBuild leadership by mentoring junior engineers, improving processes, and driving data-based decision-making across global teams.Progress into senior roles such as Lead Engineer, Project Lead based on performance with leadership and mentoring opportunities. Required QualificationsGraduation in Mechanical Engineering, (or equivalent work experience) with 4 -6 Years (Min 3 Yrs exp in projects working with global teams preferred)A seasoned, result-oriented engineer who can work independently once given direction, has good rapport with coworkers, can listen, be creative, and is detailed oriented.Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality engineering outcomesGood communication and collaboration skills with exposure to working in cross-functional or global team environments.Self-motivated, curious, and eager to learn new technologies, tools, and testing methods.Flexible and adaptable to changing project priorities and business needs.Willing to travel within or outside India as and when needed (about 5% of travelling per year)
