Job Opening for a Mechanical/Biomechanical Engineer
Applied BioMechanics

Applied BioMechanics is currently seeking a mechanical/biomechanical engineer for a part time position in our office in Alameda, California.

The successful candidate will be responsible for support and analysis related to our consulting activities in accident reconstruction and injury biomechanics, in addition to state-of-the-art research activities in biomechanics.

Applicants should be a graduate student in excellent academic standing, having completed all the fundamental coursework in mechanics, including dynamics and strength of materials. The candidate should have a GPA of 3.5 or better and possess outstanding verbal and written communication skills. An interest in biomechanics is preferable.

Please submit resumes to LCHENG@appliedbiomech.com

Applied BioMechanics

Applied BioMechanics specializes in providing engineering and scientific consulting in the areas of accident reconstruction, injury biomechanics, and related disciplines. Our key practice area is the analysis of accidents - to determine "what happened" in an accident. In automobile accidents, Applied BioMechanics analyzes available witness accounts and physical evidence, such as skid marks and property damage, reconstructs the interaction between the involved vehicles, and then analyzes the dynamics of the occupants during the collision. The resulting data on body force and motion, compared with known human tolerance, forms the basis to determine the mechanism of injury. With this information, one can then analyze the "what-if" scenarios, such as the expected injury outcome had an unrestrained occupant been using a seat belt during the crash. In addition to analyzing automobile accidents, Applied BioMechanics also performs accident reconstruction and biomechanical analysis in other environments, including the following:

Other vehicular accidents, such as motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, and heavy truck accidents
Recreational accidents, such as skiing accidents.
Work-related incidents, such as machinery accidents
Orthopedic devices, such as hip prosthesis failure analysis
Explosion accidents
Fall accidents (slip and fall, and fall from a height)
Mechanical design analysis and evaluation.
