Manufacturing Engineer II

Anteris® Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.

Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR® THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT® anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.

Help get Anteris’ heart valve technology from the production floor to clinical sites. As a Manufacturing Engineer II, you’ll own the production processes for packaging and labeling, from setting up manufacturing lines to making sure approved product configurations are reflected in our manufacturing systems. You’ll work directly with Production, Quality, Regulatory, R&D, and Supply Chain to solve problems on the floor, put engineering changes into practice, and keep clinical shipments on schedule while meeting cGMP and quality system requirements.  You’ll also help shape how Anteris manufactures at commercial scale. From designing fixtures that make work easier for operators to setting up new lines and qualifying equipment and processes, you’ll help build the capacity Anteris needs as manufacturing expands.

 At Anteris Technologies, you’ll join a mission-driven team dedicated to improving the lives of patients with aortic stenosis through breakthrough structural heart technologies — and help build the organizational foundation supporting that impact.
