CAE Engineer – Structural & Biomechanical

Job description

Do you want to work at the forefront of technology and contribute to developing tomorrow’s products in medtech, life science, and biomechanics?
Sigma Industry West is now looking for a CAE Engineer with experience in structural and biomechanical analysis.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a CAE Engineer at Sigma Industry, you will be part of a growing and dedicated engineering team supporting clients in advanced product development. You will contribute your expertise in simulation and biomechanics across various phases of design and verification – from early concepts to final validation.

This role is particularly well-suited for those with an interest in user-centered design and the mechanical behavior of biological or medical systems.

You will:

• Perform structural simulations using FEA tools (e.g., Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL)

• Contribute to biomechanical modeling for products interacting with the human body

• Analyze stress, deformation, fatigue, and contact mechanics in complex systems

• Support product design with insights and recommendations based on simulation results

• Work closely with design, testing, and regulatory teams

• Prepare and communicate technical reports and documentation

Assignments may be carried out in-house or on-site with our clients in medtech, life science, or biomechanics – depending on your background and interests.

ARE YOU THE ONE?

You are a curious and committed engineer with a passion for solving real-world problems through simulation and analysis. You value technical depth, collaboration, and contributing to meaningful product development projects.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or Engineering Physics

• At least 3 years of experience in CAE/FEA, preferably with biomechanical applications and human body modeling

• Solid knowledge of Ansys, Abaqus, LS-Dyna, Ansa, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar

• Understanding of material behavior in biological tissues or soft materials is a plus

• Strong communication skills in English (Swedish is a plus)

MERITORIUS QUALIFICATIONS:

• Background in medical devices, orthopedics, or wearable technology

• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (ISO 13485, ISO 10993, MDR)

• Programming or automation skills in Python or MATLAB

• Experience in human body modeling or digital twins

WHAT WE OFFER

As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to work across multiple industries and assignments – enjoying the variety of consulting with the stability of one employer. We deliver expertise in areas such as Product Development, UX & Design, PLM, Industrial IT, Production Engineering, and Project Management. Assignments may be at the client’s site or from our vibrant office located in the heart of Lindholmen Science Park.

We value doing things together and maintaining a healthy work-life balance – whether it’s after-work gatherings, events, sports activities, ski trips, or inspirational lectures. We’ve traveled together to many exciting destinations, most recently South Africa(!) to celebrate our 10-year anniversary as a consultancy.

Continuous competence development is important to us. In addition to the growth opportunities in your assignments and technical trainings, we also offer internal programs for personal development.

We believe that autonomy, involvement, and influence create the motivation needed for you to reach your personal goals. Our employees choose us because we share this view on career, the future, and life in general. Who you are is just as important as what you do – and our ambition is to find a setup that allows you to grow and develop into something great together with our clients.
