About The Position

Arthrex is a global medical device company and leader in orthopedics medical education. With a corporate mission of Helping Surgeons Treat Their Patients Better™, Arthrex has pioneered the field of arthroscopy and develops more than 1,000 innovative products and procedures each year that support all aspects of orthopedics. Arthrex prides itself in their Medical Education and has recently grown its 3DAnatomy initiative to supplement that need. The 3DAnatomy team is a new and rapidly growing team dedicated to the creation of realistic anatomical simulators for training, testing, and education purposes. We are search for an Engineer I to collaborate in the production process of anatomically accurate 3D medical models, from conception to delivery, to create high quality and accurate 3D printed models for use in demonstrations, training, and prototyping. This person will focus on the physical content creation including but not limited to: skeletal anatomy, soft tissue anatomy, printed material properties, computed assisted design (CAD) driven feature creation, a robust understanding of orthopedic procedures, and familiarity with medical terminology.

Requirements

Fundamental knowledge and use of SolidWorks, or related CAD programs required.
Fundamental knowledge and use of Mimics, Simpleware, 3DSlicer, or related medical segmentation software required.
Fundamental knowledge and use of 3-matic, Magics, Geomagic Design X, or related medical 3D modeling software required.
Fundamental understanding of general anatomy and anatomical terminology required.
BS Biomedical, Mechanical, or related Engineering degree required

Nice To Haves

Fundamental knowledge and use of 3D printing, preferred.
Fundamental knowledge and use of silicone, urethanes, or other polymeric casted materials, preferred.
Fundamental knowledge of laboratory and experimental testing skills preferred.

Responsibilities

Examine and Segment medical data in the form of radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and other relevant data for design use.
Collaborate in all phases of the 3D model creation process including initial segmentation, model refinement, creation of CAD based modular features, materials settings, and assigning 3D printing settings, and laboratory testing.
Utilize CAD software and skills to create modular structures of differing anatomies, as well as replacable components, and mechanical fixation features.
Review medical education documentation, and live or recorded surgical procedures to better understand the critical anatomy and design features required for each project.
Asisst with the testing of designed models in mock surgical settings using equipment and tools typical of an orthopedic surgeon.
Produces well documented steps highlighting creation, development, and execution of 3D anatomy and anatomical CAD models.
Works with Department Managers, 3D Animators, Product Managers, Orthopedic Research and Medical Education.
Interacts with surgeons and/or clinical specialists to develop accurate and representiave anatomical models and features.
Design, participate, and when required, execute research studies involving anatomical data in either digital or physical form for anatomical or biomechanical analysis.
Research and utilize various materials including polymeric materials such as silicone, urethane, etc. for replication of anatomical structures.
Observes surgical demonstrations including cadaver dissections.
Supports Product Development activities related to manufacturing and production handled at Arthrex Manufacturing
Maintains an organized workflow and collaborates with team timelines and expectations.
Attends conferences, meetings, or other educational activities to further assess new technologies and methods.
