About this role

This internship supports Stryker’s R&D Simulation Team to develop and validate a new orthopaedic implant using numerical simulations and physical testing. You will define physiological loads and failure modes, evaluate design concepts, and document simulation work in line with relevant standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define physiological loads and failure modes
  • Use finite element analysis, musculoskeletal modelling, and CAD to evaluate design concepts and physical test setups
  • Adapt physical tests to meet simulation validation requirements
  • Report simulation results for medical devices and align documentation with ASME V&V40
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and present internship work

Technical Overview

You will perform and validate biomechanical simulations using finite element analysis, musculoskeletal modelling, and CAD software tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, Anybody, Creo, SolidWorks). You will also contribute to reporting and documentation of medical device simulation results aligned with ASME V&V40.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an engineering student enrolled in a mechanical engineering (or similar) degree program, preferably at the master’s level, with strong interest in numerical simulations. They have hands-on exposure to finite element analysis, musculoskeletal modelling, and CAD tools such as Ansys/Abaqus/Creo or SolidWorks, and can communicate simulation results clearly while collaborating with physical testing teams.
