Stryker Internship in the field of biomechanical simulation – from March/April 2025 for 6 months in Schönkirchen, Germany
We are excited to be named one of the World’s Best Workplaces by Fortune Magazine!
As a member of the R&D Simulation Team, during this internship you will primarily learn and contribute to the use of numerical simulations and the corresponding validations through physical testing and literature data for the development of a new orthopeadic implant.
Our offer for you
You will define physiological loads and failure modes and learn about different treatment approaches through training, literature review and internal databases.
You will use numerical simulations such as finite element analysis, musculoskeletal modelling and CAD software to evaluate new design concepts and physical test setups for a new orthopaedic implant.
You will work with your physical testing colleagues to adapt the physical test to meet your simulation validation requirements.
Understand the reporting of simulation results for medical devices and the relevant standards (ASME V&V40) and contribute to the proper documentation of your simulation work.
You will collaborate with and present your work to various stakeholders and become familiar with the new product development process for orthopaedic medical devices.
What makes you stand out
You are a Master student studying engineering (e.g. mechanical engineering or similar).
You have a basic knowledge and interest in numerical simulations (finite element methods and musculoskeletal modelling) and have gained initial experience with the corresponding software tools (e.g. Ansys, Abaqus, Anybody, etc.) as well as with CAD (e.g. Creo, SloidWorks, etc.).
Your analytical skills and your solution-oriented and scientifically precise working style make you a valuable team member.
You value an international working environment in which you can use your very good knowledge of English and your good knowledge of German or French.
Start Date: March/April 2025
Duration: 6 months
Location: Schönkirch bei Kiel
