The posting
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.
The Manufacturing Engineer II will be a key member of the manufacturing engineering team, partnering with Management, Quality Assurance, Product Development, Supply Chain/ Logistics and Production. This role is responsible for executing manufacturing engineering activities in compliance with cGMP requirements, applicable regulatory standards, and site procedures, while ensuring deliverables are completed on time and to a high standard of quality.
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.
