Senior Manufacturing Engineer

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.

We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to provide technical leadership for delivery system manufacturing processes, supporting catheter-based systems for next-generation structural heart technologies. This role is responsible for ensuring that delivery system manufacturing operations are robust, scalable, validated and compliant as the organization advances toward clinical milestones and commercial readiness. This role will serve as the subject matter expert in catheter and delivery system manufacturing partnering closely with R&D, Quality, Regulatory, Supply Chain, Process Development, and Production. The role combines hands-on engineering support with process ownership, ensuring manufacturing processes meet the highest standards of quality, compliance, and operational performance.

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.
