Description du poste

Description

Founded in 2014, Sim&Cure is French digital start-up focused on improving neurovascular treatments of cerebral aneurysm with a proprietary software suite. The Sim&Size™ software is a Class II medical device with CE mark and FDA clearance that has already been used to treat more than 10,000+ patients in 500+ hospitals in the world.

Through several modules, Sim&Size™ is a software suite that provides to the physician a 3D visualization of medical images and a computational model of neurovascular implantable medical devices (IMDs). The therapeutic strategy is the most important step of this disease treatment and Sim&Size™ is now part of it by being efficient, safe, and reproducible. Computational modeling of specific devices in the anatomy of a patient helps the physician to achieve the intended outcome of the intervention.

Missions

Immersed In a Clinically Oriented Environment, You Will Serve As a Technical Reference In Biomechanics To Drive Various R&D Projects Related To Numerical Simulation In The Neurovascular Field. You Will Cover The Following Scope Of Activities

• Interpret clinical issues by identifying the underlying biomechanical phenomena.
• Propose biomechanical models for these phenomena, as well as numerical simulation methodologies to address these issues.
• Help implementing verification and validation processes, notably through experimental measurement techniques.

You will thrive in an environment built around these key pillars:

• Synergy: Collaborating with the company's various R&D departments.
• Technology Transfer: Help interfacing with the Software Development team to integrate the technological building blocks developed by the Biomechanics team. This involves following quality and regulatory processes to meet the strict requirements of software medical device development.
• Clinical Vision: Engaging in continuous interactions with the Clinical & Medical Affairs team to provide relevant answers to clinical problems, as well as with field engineers to support them during issues and turn feedback into improvement proposals.

Responsibilities

• Take technical ownership of activities related to numerical simulation in biomechanics.
