What is the difference between Forensics Injury Biomechanics vs Forensic Pathologist?

AspectForensics Injury BiomechanicsForensic Pathologist
Required CredentialsEngineering degree, biomechanics certificationMedical degree, pathology certification
Work EnvironmentLaboratories, accident scenes, courtroomsMedical examiner's office, hospitals, morgues
Industry UsageLegal cases involving injury analysisDeath investigations, autopsies

While both roles contribute to legal investigations, Forensics Injury Biomechanics focuses on analyzing injury mechanisms through engineering principles, whereas Forensic Pathologists perform autopsies to determine causes of death. Their work environments and credentials differ, but both are essential in forensic investigations involving injuries and fatalities.

Biomechanical Engineer - Forensic Investigator

Robson Forensic

Lancaster, PA • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 20 days ago

Job description

You have a Ph.D. in an Engineering discipline and Bioengineering/Biomechanics experience involving human body kinematics and kinetics or injury research. You want to use your training, education, and experience in a new and meaningful way.


You are already an expert. Robson Forensic will train you to be a forensic expert.


As a Biomechanical Engineering Forensic Expert, you will:

  • Apply scientific and engineering principles of bioengineering and biomechanics to investigate incidents involving claimed injuries/fatalities due to an event.
  • Analyze and evaluate the technical and scientific aspects of incidents, injuries, and medical device failures.
  • Write clear, scientifically sound reports.
  • Provide expert testimony.


You will delve into the technical and scientific aspects of incidents, determining how and why an injury occurred from an engineering standpoint. You will analyze the forces and motions involved to figure out if the alleged injuries are consistent with the event. Areas of investigation include injury biomechanics/orthopedic biomechanics applied to events such as vehicle collisions, sports & recreation, occupation, assaults, falls, etc. This role offers you a chance to:

  • Use your cumulative training, experience, and critical thinking skills.
  • Collaborate with highly respected experts.
  • Continuously learn and grow.
  • Make a tangible difference.


Location: Lancaster, PA (hybrid)


Requirements:

  • Education: Ph.D. in an engineering discipline & a B.S. in Engineering from an ABET-accredited University
  • Experience: Bioengineering/biomechanics experience involving human body kinematics and kinetics or injury research; Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) experience is a plus.
  • Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.
  • Work Style: Approx. 20% travel for training; the remainder is focused on reviewing case materials, analysis and documentation preparation, working independently and as part of a collaborative team, case and client management. 
  • Prior forensic experience is not required. We seek professionals eager to apply their deep biomechanical knowledge to a challenging new domain.


You must have a clean background screen, a driver’s license, and the ability to drive.
