Sr Engineer, Modeling & Digitization - New Brunswick NJ

Position Summary

The Sterile Product and Device Development team within the Drug Product Development team and greater Product Development and Supply organization supports the BMS pipeline to create patient centric products. We now have a vacancy for a Senior Engineer to join our team and contribute to our success in meeting the needs of our business and our patients.

Deliverables

• Develop and lead modeling and digitization initiatives across device and combination product development and drug product development; including digital twins of products and processes, product and process modeling, mechanistic and multiphysics modeling.
• Design and execute model-based DOEs and simulations for device delivery systems and for powder-, fluid-, and polymer-based systems and multiphase flows, to predict performance and de-risk development decisions.
• Translate modeling and simulation outputs into design control deliverables; supporting design inputs/outputs, verification and validation, and risk management.
• Support design and development activities such as concept generation, CAD, prototyping, testing, and reporting.
• Partner with the modeling community across Global Product Development and Supply and with external partners/vendors to bring the right modeling technologies and capabilities into Sterile Product and Device Development and Drug Product Development.
• Analyze and present modeling insights and recommendations to program and leadership teams, and ensure compliance with company processes, procedures, and applicable standards.

Qualifications

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline with 2-4 years of experience or MS with 4-6 years of experience in the Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology or other industry with an emphasis on product and process modeling.
• Research experience in the field of engineering and one or more computational modeling techniques (e.g., Bayesian models, finite element or discrete element modeling, computational fluid dynamics CFD, flowsheet modeling, and first-principles engineering models).
• Deep understanding of multi-physics interactions, design for manufacturing and assembly.
• Advanced knowledge of one or more modeling/simulation/CAD tools such as SolidWorks, ProE, Abaqus, HEEDS, COMSOL, Moldflow, Fluent etc.
• Ability to convert models into experiments, work autonomously and partner with the modelling community across Product Development.
• Ability to build and manage models to predict future outcomes using data that is often incomplete and/or imperfect and contained in disparate sources.
• Deep understanding of complex mechanical engineering design & simulation demonstrated by experience developing such products.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with the ability to lead, influence, and align matrix teams without direct authority.
• Demonstrated ability to work as part of internal teams and also leverage external partners to bring the right technologies into products.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical information to a non-specialist audience.
• Detail oriented with strong technical writing and documentation skills to draft protocols, reports, test methods, procedures, work instructions.
• Experience with one or more data visualization tools (e.g. R, DASH, Spotfire, Tableau) and statistical tools and models (e.g. PCA, ANOVA, Minitab, JMP).
• Ability to perform in-depth data analysis and present results and conclusions to product development and leadership teams.
