Success in this position demands creativity, organization, and willingness to listen, learn, and comprehend the requirements of your models and simulations. You’ll collaborate closely with user study researchers to create, validate, and apply innovative biomechanical models to the design of wearable products. A solid grasp of modeling and simulation principles, coupled with extensive experience in biological tissue and product applications, is essential. The models and simulations must strike a balance between making assumptions to drive an efficient design process, with attention to detail to deliver insight with integrity.
As a member of the Applied Research and Characterization team, you’ll develop innovative modeling and simulation methods to provide design insights for wearable products. You’ll construct and implement human and product models for critical wearable load cases. Collaborating closely with other researchers, you’ll gather quantitative and qualitative information about the user experience. Furthermore, you’ll engage deeply with the design team to facilitate the integration of these novel methods into product strategy.
