Team Description
Kitware's Medical Computing team solves complex healthcare challenges through customized software solutions. The team provides research, development, and technology integration services to research centers, universities and companies in the medical and biomedical sectors. By joining our team you will participate in a dynamic multidisciplinary work environment with exceptionally talented computer scientists, software engineers, mechanical engineers and biomedical engineers.
About the projects
We build powerful software solutions using our well-established open-source platforms including VTK, ITK, 3D Slicer, Pulse, iMSTK, CMake and ParaView. These platforms are mature, supported, documented, and thoroughly tested software systems that are in use by tens of thousands of developers and end-users worldwide. Our projects involve generating solutions for medical device companies from ultrasound and preclinical imaging companies, to medical device companies. Our research projects involve collaborations with top research institutions, including Harvard Medical School, MIT, Cleveland Clinic, Duke University, and others which build on our open-source platforms.
In this position you will:
Build computational tools and applications for modeling and simulation of open and minimally invasive surgical procedures in cardiovascular interventions, neurosurgery, nasal surgery, orthognathic surgery and orthopedic surgery
Extend the capabilities of iMSTK, Pulse, CMB and VTK to meet the needs of academic and commercial users as they investigate new medical procedures and imaging systems, release innovative products, and improve all aspects of patient care
Implement new computational geometry and physics-based simulations algorithms, optimization techniques to improve the real-time performance of our simulators
Collaborate with world-class coworkers and external collaborators on dynamic, fast-paced projects
Publish your research findings in top-rated journals and present your work at conferences around the world
Required Qualifications
Masters degree or PhD. in mechanical engineering, applied mathematics or a related field with emphasis on computational modeling and simulation.
Strong hands-on experience in C++ programming
Extensive knowledge of computational linear algebra concepts (vector, matrix math, numerical solvers) and numerical methods such as finite elements or finite-difference.
3D computational geometry and physics-based simulation algorithm design and software development experience
Working knowledge of advanced data structures and algorithms design.
Prior experience in related technologies such as virtual/augmented reality or game physics
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in simulation workflow i.e tuning simulations by varying their discretization, constitutive equations, and solver parameters to obtain convergence with minimal computational effort .
Knowledge of real-time physics based simulation methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics and position-based dynamics
Experience programming simulation software and participation in software development workflows. Additional experience with game engine technologies (Unity/Unreal/PhysX) is a plus.
Experience with parallel programming with CUDA/OpenMP/TBB.
Experience with computational mechanics software such as FeBio, ANSYS or ABAQUS.
