New Position Announcement
Research Engineer II
Associates in Research&Technology work together on many program areas, but
it is envisioned that one of these positions will initially primarily support
specification, research and testing of Dynamic Stabilization concepts, and
the other will primarily support specification, research and testing of
Interspinous concepts. The Research Engineers in these positions will specify
performance and design criteria for new devices and treatments, interpret test data
from biomechanical, cadaveric, and animal studies, and analyze and verify
design concepts. The successful Research Engineers will support spinal product
development efforts across the company by formulating, specifying, conducting
and managing benchtop testing as well as preclinical cadaveric and animal
studies. They will also conceptualize spinal treatments for addressing future
needs, and establish, initiate and manage feasibility studies.
The Research Engineers will contribute to communication within the group,
the company, and in the greater scientific and surgical community by writing
reports and white papers, making technical presentations to Project Teams and
writing/coauthoring manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication. The Engineers
in these positions of technical authority will also participate in the
training of the sales force and other associates, lead intellectual property
development efforts, and participate in scientific conferences and standards
specification activities.
Research Engineer II: B.Sc. in an engineering-related field, preferably
Mechanical or Materials plus 5 years, or M.Sc. plus 2 years of medical device
industry experience.
Qualified candidates should have a strong knowledge and experience base in
research and development of medical devices, including benchtop, in vitro and
in vivo experimental models, evaluation methods, and experimental protocols
and product development and manufacturing processes. The ability to prioritize
and manage multiple tasks/projects and excellent verbal and written
communication skills to effectively interact with internal team members, vendors and
external researchers and surgeon collaborators is essential. Experience and
knowledge of spreadsheet software (Excel preferred) and basic statistics is
essential. Previous peer-reviewed publications, advanced knowledge of
orthopaedic materials, and CAD and FEA knowledge are very beneficial. Orthopaedics
experience is strongly desired.
Please submit a resume with 3 references for consideration:
