Modeling and Simulation Scientist

About the Role We are looking for a Modeling & Simulation Scientist to join our team. In this role you will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) expertise to provide support for design, development, and optimization of medical devices. This role offers a unique opportunity to model cardiovascular hemodynamics, supporting product innovation, design iteration, and regulatory submissions. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will use simulation-driven insights to predict device performance, identify worst-case scenarios, and accelerate product development through virtual testing. The successful candidate will perform CFD analyses by applying principles of fluid mechanics, material behavior, and medical device durability to solve complex engineering challenges and advance patient care. This position will be located at our facility in either Flagstaff or Phoenix, Arizona, with the possibility of a hybrid work arrangement. Responsibilities Provide analytical support in the areas of medical product design, optimization and new product development. Perform CFD/FSI modeling of transient flow, species transport, porous jumps, multiphase flow, mass transport and heat transfer analysis to support accelerated product design and evaluation. Perform other analytical procedures that will assist in the application, design and manufacture of medical products. Advance the use of data driven modeling using AI/ML and PINNs techniques. Develop techniques to combine data driven modeling with physics-based modeling. Verify and validate computational analyses. Support continuous improvement of modeling workflows, tools, and best practices. Review and provide feedback on modeling approaches and analyses performed by peers. Document and communicate results through technical reports and presentations.
