• Maintaining lab hardware and software
• Imaging and image processing of patient and cadaveric tissues
• Data collection and interpretation
• Preparing, organizing, and maintaining documentation of test protocols and equipment
• Designing custom jigs and fixtures for novel testing set-ups
• Assisting principal investigators in manuscript and abstract preparation
• Developing protocols for Institutional Review Board review, laboratory studies, and code documentation
• Presenting updates at internal departmental and group meetings and at national scientific meetings

We are looking for an individual with the following character traits:

• Ability to work in multidisciplinary teams
• Independently motivated and excited by the prospect of taking on new challenges
• Ability to rapidly learn new skills to solve problems in a dynamic and evolving work environment

• Demonstrated expertise in using software such as MATLAB, Labview, FEBIO, and Abaqus
• Familiarity with software tools (e.g., MIMICS) for image processing and 3D reconstruction of medical image data from MRI and CT
• Familiarity with statistics and data analytics
• Experience in mechanical testing using servohydraulic test frames and robotic manipulators
• Mechanical design and prototyping experience using software tools such as SolidWorks
• Experience using motion capture technology and associated 3D kinematic analysis software
