Our shared missionto serve patients living with serious illnessesdrives all that we do. Since 1980, weve helped pioneer the world of biotech in our fight against the worlds toughest diseases. With our focus on four therapeutic areas Oncology, Inflammation, General Medicine, and Rare Disease we reach millions of patients each year. As a member of the Amgen team, youll help make a lasting impact on the lives of patients as we research, manufacture, and deliver innovative medicines to help people live longer, fuller happier lives. Our award-winning culture is collaborative, innovative, and science based. If you have a passion for challenges and the opportunities that lay within them, youll thrive as part of the Amgen team. Join us and transform the lives of patients while transforming your career. Senior Engineer Modelling and Simulation What you will do Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will apply engineering principles to develop efficient and trustworthy models addressing a wide variety of challenging problems associated with advanced material modelling, device design, characterization, verification, validation, manufacturing and tolerance analysis. The ideal candidate enjoys tackling challenges and excels at developing functional in-silico models of combination products that enable insights for root cause investigation and design robustness supporting lifecycle management activities and complaint reduction. Implementing explicit and implicit FEM structural models. Ensuring that the approach and simplifications used to build these models is efficiently representing the physical system. Applying engineering principles like kinematic, structural, and tolerance analysis combined with material characterization and testing to create in-silico models able to capture the behavior of the device during use, assembly and transport. Continuous improvement of in-silico models, managing the lifecycle of the model and improving methods and workstreams to guarantee efficiency and trustworthiness of the models. Demonstrating critical and analytical thinking skills to explore new opportunities in in-silico and data-driven computational models. Modelling real-world scenarios with the adequate level of detail and help inform the decision making in a reduced time frame. Simulate complaints and real-world issues within lifecycle of combination products. Being able to apply an analytical mindset to create models that accurately represent the real world scenarios and helps identify the root cause analysis of any complaint. Providing positive leadership and delivering work in a fast-paced, multi-project, cross-functional environment. Delivering predictions and insight on time to solve challenging production and customer problems Model ownership, responsible for developing and managing backlog of in-silico product projects. Being able to concisely communicate on the modelling scope, limitations and assumptions to stakeholders with a technical and not technical background. Mentor also other simulation experts in the best use of simulation technologies.
