We are currently seeking a Biomechanics Associate for our Biomechanics Practice in Atlanta, GA. In this role, you will work as part of an interdisciplinary team and support senior consultants to execute biomechanics consulting projects related to analysis of human injury associated with both real-world and simulated events. This will involve detail-oriented analysis of the human body's response to accelerations, forces, and/or bending moments generated during an incident to determine its motions and potential for injury, analysis of the conditions (e.g. activity, premises, vehicle, product) to determine whether and/or how an injury occurred, and analysis of whether such injuries could have been mitigated. Many projects are fast-moving and require a motivated critical thinker capable of quickly, carefully, and accurately synthesizing information from a variety of sources for stakeholders.

• Reviewing and summarizing both technical and non-technical materials with an eye for detail to identify key facts and information (this may include reviewing police reports, medical/autopsy records, legal pleadings, expert reports, deposition testimony, photographs, vehicle specifications, design drawings, and other documentation)
• Researching and reviewing relevant scientific journals, publications, and test data
• Analyzing and critically synthesizing technical biomechanical information involving kinematics, dynamics, mechanisms of injury, and human tolerance
• Clearly communicating findings via presentations and written reports, including both generating documents and reviewing the work of others with an eye for factual, technical, and editorial nuance
• Synthesizing technical information into an easily-understood format suitable for presentation to technical and non-technical audiences
• Professionally and respectfully reviewing sensitive projects involving confidential material and/or documentation of severe injuries
• Managing projects with effective cost control measures, including tracking project progress and budgets and interacting with stakeholders
• Assisting in conducting research, publishing reports and papers in technical journals, and presenting findings at meetings and conferences
• Actively participating in our Biomechanics Practice and assisting in marketing the group's technical capabilities to clients and the scientific community

• Ph.D. in Biomechanics, Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
• A passion for science communication and critical analysis
• Outstanding written communication skills and a detail-oriented eye
• Presentation experience synthesizing complex information for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Hands-on experience evaluating human tissue biomechanics with laboratory or computational methods and a working knowledge of human or animal anatomy and physiology
• Knowledge of computational modeling methods for analyzing biomechanical response to forces is valued, but not required
• Interest in, and eligibility to, obtain a Professional Engineer (P.E.) license
• Effective leadership skills and the ability to interact with a wide variety of professionals both inside Exponent and externally with our clients, including engineers, scientists, managers, attorneys, and administrative staff

Applicants are encouraged to submit a CV with publications (feel free to include publications that are in review or pending) [not restricted to 1 page].
