FEA Simulation and Design Engineer CDI

Job Description Summary: Our BU Biopharma Systems business unit designs, develops and industrializes a broad portfolio of pre-fillable syringes, self-injection systems, safety and protection solutions to be sold to the pharmaceutical industry.

Responsibilities

• Build, execute and document Finite Elements Analysis Simulation studies using Abaqus from early feasibility through design verification.
• Identify and develop first‑principles reasoning to predict product behavior and support design decisions.
• Correlate simulation with test results, assess risks, and propose optimized or innovative modeling approaches.
• Communicate analysis outcomes through clear technical reports and participate in design reviews.
• Coordinate externally performed simulation work: define clear requirements, challenge assumptions, review deliverables, and ensure relevance and robustness.
• Translate internal technical needs into structured simulation specifications for external partners.
• Create 3D models supporting FEA and other simulation studies using SolidWorks.
• Support functional dimensioning in line with ISO GPS / ISO 8015 in technical drawings, and tolerance analyses.
• Understand and integrate DFM/DFA considerations, especially for molded parts and formed components.
• Provide engineering support for existing products, design changes, investigations, and technology transfers.
• Contribute to root cause analysis using test results, simulation, and statistical tools.
• Follow internal quality procedures, design control requirements, and applicable safety and regulatory standards.
• Work closely with cross‑functional partners (testing, manufacturing, quality).
• Engage in continuous learning to expand technical breadth and improve tools, methods, and workflows.
• Contribute to protecting BD intellectual property.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical/Design Engineering, Simulation, material science or related field.
• 3 to 5 years of relevant industry experience (including internships/apprenticeships).
• Good knowledge of SolidWorks (advanced modeling and drawings).
• Practical experience with Abaqus, nonlinear FEA modeling and material characterization integration.
• Understanding of tolerancing, ISO standards, and mechanical behavior.
• Knowledge of metrology, manufacturing processes and statistical approaches (capability, R&R, DOE is a plus).
• Familiarity with design control and engineering change processes.
• Ability to translate needs into actionable simulation requirements and to challenge external work constructively.
• Fluent French mandatory and professional English, including written technical documentation and participation in meetings.

Salary range for the position: €44,000 to €54,000 K EUR per year.
