Senior Multi-Physics Simulation Engineer

Coloplast R&D is expanding with several new positions as we continue our growth journey and our ambitions within modularity, sustainability, and technology development. This includes continuously challenge current way of working, expand our thinking, and explore new solutions to make life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs.

Are you interested in using state-of-the-art simulation tools to continuously improve the understanding of our products and improve their design? Will you strive to grow and develop our Simulation team to be even more competent and inspiring place to work? We offer a unique opportunity to develop simulations in Coloplast.

In 1957 Elise Sørensen came up with the idea of the Ostomy bag, driven by urge to make life better for people with a specific intimate healthcare problem. Today, 68 years later Coloplast serves more than 2.000.000 people around the globe with vital products for daily usage.

R&D is where all new product innovations are shaped for success, defined, developed and delivered for manufacturing in millions of products for centuries.

Product Design and Engineering, Is the creative and scientific powerhouse of R&D our designers, engineers and scientist, co create products and solutions for targeted user segments and various intimate healthcare conditions.

You will become a part of Mechanical Engineering where functional & robust design ensure the quality of mechanical specifications and design documentation.

We use state-of-the-art tools, and processes and aim for best practices in our work. We are the voice of mechanical engineering in the R&D organization and beyond.
More specifically you will be working in the Simulation team.

The job
You will work closely with your colleagues in the Simulation team, Mechanical Design Engineers, our Pilot Plant, and key stakeholders within R&D in developing innovative products. You will focus on the multi-physics aspect of the development process and strengthen our understanding of multi-physics interaction in our products and production processes. In some cases, the Mechanical Design engineers will provide you with designs to assess and optimize, but in other cases, we build models proactively to leverage a fundamental understanding of products and processes to relevant stakeholders. We take a practical approach to problem-solving, e.g., using simplified linear models to optimize and decision-making early design phase, while non-linear models and interactions comes into play in detailed studies of complex manufacturing processes. In all our work, testing and improving predictions and methods are crucial. 

Communicating your findings in a simple and actionable manner are vital to succeeding in the job. Our strategy for Product Design & Engineering strongly focuses on simulation, and we want to expand our capabilities to an even higher level and use numerical analysis more actively in developing new products. As Senior Multi-Physics Simulation Engineer you will play a huge part in defining and implementing our strategy for the Simulation team in the coming years. 

Your key responsibilities are:

• Provide key insight into interactions of the key physics identified with stakeholders  
• Conduct both simple and advanced Multi-physics analysis as input to various development projects.
• Present data-driven design recommendations to the development projects based on your analysis. 
• Take part in the future development of the internal processes in the Simulation team and Mechanical team.
• Be an integral part of building our model and material library.
• Coaching and supporting team members.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate for the job possesses the following qualifications:

• Proven skills within simulations with 5-10+ years of experience.
• Master of Science in Engineering or Natural Sciences with specialization in Multi-Physics, Mathematical modelling, and numerical analysis of complex problems.
• Proven knowledge of multi-physics and a skilled user of one of the commonly used simulation software.
• Proven knowledge of development processes.
• Experience with interdisciplinary teamwork.
• Experience with building simulation capabilities in an R&D organization. 

You most likely have a background in consultancy, food, medico, pharma, automotive, wind industries. We produce products in the millions and early attention to details has a great business impact. We value honesty and open feedback and are looking for an ambitious team player. If you are good at what you do, able to communicate your findings clearly and guide and inspire the Simulation team, this position will suit you.

Interested?
