Senior R&D Engineer

Brooklyn Park, MN

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 an experienced Research and Development Engineer with deep medical device development expertise to participate in design activities across multiple structural heart programs. This role requires strong technical design capability and independence to advance a novel heart valve repair system from concept through commercialization. The successful candidate will collaborate effectively across engineering, clinical, regulatory, and executive teams while driving innovative solutions in the structural heart space. If you are an experienced R&D engineer with a passion for driving innovative solutions in the structural heart space, please submit your resume.

 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.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Characterize device-tissue interactions through the analysis of clinical/pre-clinical imaging datasets and benchtop data using both commercial and internally developed software packages.
  • Lead R&D efforts in understanding the anatomical and physiological landscape a TAVR system interacts with through implantation and the product life cycle.
  • Support the design and development of a TAVR system through innovative, agile and objective design processes.
  • Develop comprehensive TAVR system test plans by defining clinically relevant boundary conditions and test parameters that support design verification and comply with applicable FDA, ISO, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners across R&D, Clinical, and Regulatory to align project objectives with design improvements and clinical outcome goals.
  • Utilize SolidWorks and other engineering tools to design and develop prototypes, and components for TAVR device design and development.
  • Support and communicate decisions through thorough engineering practices and data analysis.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and team members, contributing to their professional development.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically in complex engineering scenarios.
  • Communication, presentation, technical writing, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects and to work independently as well as contribute to a team environment.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office tools.

Preferred Skills:

  • Previous experience with catheter-based structural heart medical devices and interventional cardiology procedures.
  • Experience with Design Verification planning, testing, and reports.
  • Experience supporting pre-clinical testing and simulation studies
  • Familiarity with human factors and systems engineering principles.
  • Experience with risk management methodologies in the context of medical device testing.
  • Experience with component qualifications, including using external manufacturers to build custom fixtures/components.
  • Strong knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles.
  • Knowledge of applicable standards including ISO 5840, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, ISO 10555, and ISO 10993.

Compensation

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
