Computational Modeling Engineer

Computational Modeling Engineer | Innovation & Design

Location: High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, NL

Experience: 0-1 (with Phd) or 3–4 Years (Post-MS)

Focus: Physics-based Simulation, Multiphysics, Virtual Prototyping

The Challenge: Simulation-Driven Innovation

At Philips, as a Computational Modeling Engineer, you will bridge the gap between theoretical physics and life-saving technology. You will use high-fidelity simulations to de-risk innovation, providing the deep physical insights necessary to move from "concept" to "clinical reality" without the traditional bottlenecks of physical prototyping.

Your Responsibilities:

Architect Virtual Prototypes: Lead R&D projects by developing advanced FEA, CFD, and multiphysics models that predict device behavior in complex biological environments.

Drive Strategic Design: Translate intricate simulation data into actionable engineering roadmaps for stakeholders across Image-Guided Therapy and Patient Monitoring.

Validate & Optimize: Close the loop between digital twins and physical reality by validating physics-based models against experimental data.

Evolve the Craft: Keep our team at the bleeding edge by exploring new numerical techniques and simulation methodologies.

Your Team:

You will join a specialized cohort of 8 PhD and Master’s-level experts in solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and lifetime prognostics. Based at the prestigious High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, our team acts as a global internal consultancy, solving the toughest mechanical and physical puzzles across the entire Philips portfolio.

To succeed in this role, you should have the following skills and experience:

• We are looking for a scientist-engineer who thrives at the intersection of rigorous mathematics and practical application.

• Educational Excellence: A PhD or Research-based Master’s in Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.

• 3–4 years of post-academic or industrial experience with a deep foundation in mechanistic modeling (e.g., transport phenomena, solid mechanics, or fluid dynamics).

• Proficiency in industry-standard solvers such as COMSOL, ANSYS, Abaqus, Star-CCM+, or OpenFOAM.

What We Offer:

• Intellectual Density: Work in an environment where your peers are as technically obsessed as you are.

• Your models will directly influence products used by millions of patients worldwide.

• Extensive opportunities for technical leadership and specialized development within Philips’ Innovation & Design community.
