Apologies for duplicate postings
========================

Hi folks,

Kitware is seeking to hire highly skilled research and development
engineers (R&D Engineers) with strong software engineering experience to
work on biomechanical modelling and simulation projects. Kitware is
developing surgical simulation and computational tools for patient-specific
structural and fluid dynamics models that would allow surgeons to plan
surgeries and to practice and advance their surgical skills in a risk-free
environment. The target clinical applications include open and laparoscopic
surgical procedures such as cardiovascular interventions, neurosurgery,
nasal surgery, and orthopedic surgery.

JOB DESCRIPTION
Kitware is seeking to hire highly skilled Research and Development
Engineers (R&D Engineers) with strong software engineering experience to
work on biomechanical modelling and simulation projects. Kitware is

Qualifications

* Masters degree or PhD. in mechanical engineering, applied mathematics or
a related field with emphasis in biomedical applications.

* Experience in simulation workflow i.e tuning simulations by varying their
discretization, constitutive equations, and solver parameters to obtain
convergence with minimal computational effort is strongly desirable.

* Knowledge of inner-workings of numerical methods such as finite elements,
finite difference and numerical solvers is extremely desirable.

* Specific knowledge of biomechanical modeling of bone and soft tissue as
well as the interaction between these tissues and other materials.

* Experience in programming a simulation software and participation in
software development workflows is desirable.

* Prior experience with other open source physics-based medical simulation
software is a plus.

* Prior experience developing algorithms to perform fluid-structure
interaction and computational fluid dynamics simulations is a plus.
