Senior Engineer

Amgen's Final Product Technologies is a process development function that develops and commercializes drug delivery devices /combination products to serve our patients. We are seeking a Senior Engineer to develop, apply and deploy rigorous mathematical models of drug delivery device technologies. The candidate will apply structural, fluid, biomechanical, and multi-physics theory to develop novel first-principles and mechanistic computational models addressing a wide variety of challenging problems associated with device design control, characterization, verification and validation. Responsibilities will include identifying requirements and specifications suitable for in-silico evaluation, identifying key system characteristics/phenomena, formulating constitutive and governing equations describing these, formulating mathematical representations of design questions, implementing models in commercial and proprietary software, deploying these models to internal users via an enterprise modeling infrastructure, and verification of these models through experiments. It is expected that the Senior Engineer will collaborate heavily with internal stakeholders, as well as document and communicate the underlying technical basis of the models for the benefit of and use by the broader engineering and scientific community responsible for design and manufacture of drug delivery devices.
