Drive the technical and translational development of SpinePlanner toward a robust and clinically usable solution. Work closely with surgeons, engineers, and project partners to define clinically relevant use cases, product requirements, and workflows. Develop methods that integrate biomechanical analysis into SpinePlanner in a practical and clinically meaningful way. Lead or contribute to the technical development, testing, and validation of SpinePlanner components and workflows. Plan, execute, and interpret validation studies using imaging, biomechanical, simulation, and clinical data. Support project reporting, partner communication, presentations, and selected scientific dissemination.
Anforderungen:
MSc or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Medical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field. Several years of relevant experience in translational R&D, MedTech development, or a comparable engineering environment. Strong background in several of the following areas: biomechanics, finite element or musculoskeletal modelling, medical image-based analysis, optimization / numerical methods, machine learning methods, implant-related development, or technical software development. Solid programming skills. Ability to translate clinical and biomechanical questions into practical, robust technical solutions. Independent, structured, and proactive working style with a hands-on mindset. Clear technical communication and confidence working in an interdisciplinary setting with clinicians, engineers, and project partners. Ideally, you also bring experience in spine or orthopaedics, patient-specific modelling, cadaveric or in-vitro biomechanics, implant-related development, or regulated MedTech environments.
