What you will do

Let’s do this. Let’s change the world.

Amgen's Combination Product Operations Digital and Data Strategies group is a process development team that develops and deploys state of the art advanced computational technologies and empirical and first principles models towards improved process understanding, robustness and monitoring, and prediction and optimization of the manufacturing of combination products.

We are seeking a Senior Engineer – Modeling and Simulation to support the team by developing and deploying rigorous computational models (in-silico modeling assets) of drug delivery device technologies and improving the way Amgen manages and utilizes in-silico models to enhance decision making within the organization. The candidate will apply in-silico modeling theory to develop novel mechanistic computational models (virtual combination products) addressing a wide variety of challenging problems associated with combination product design control, characterization, verification, and validation. The ideal candidate enjoys tackling challenges and excels at developing functional in-silico models of combination products that enable insights for root cause investigation and design robustness supporting lifecycle management activities and complaint reduction.

Responsibilities:

• Identifying requirements and specifications suitable for in-silico evaluation of combination products.

• Applying finite element analysis (FEA) and engineering simulation principles to develop, deploy, enhance, automate, and manage in-silico models for combination products.

• Implementing in-silico models in commercial and proprietary software and deploying these models to internal users via enterprise modeling infrastructure.

• Demonstrating critical and analytical thinking skills to explore new opportunities in in-silico and data-driven computational models and simulate complaints and real-world issues within lifecycle of combination products.

• Providing positive leadership and delivering work in a fast-paced, multi-project, cross-functional environment.

• Product ownership, responsible for developing and managing backlog of in-silico product content in Scrum and SAFe (Scale Agile Framework).

It is expected that the Senior Engineer – Modeling and Simulation will not only collaborate heavily with internal stakeholders, but also 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.
