Quality Control Inspector

Anteris is a science-driven structural heart company that is redefining expectations and advancing the field through cutting‑edge solutions focused on restoring native‑like physiology versus treating symptoms of structural heart disease. We are currently developing a new class of TAVR designed to mimic the performance of a healthy aortic valve. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US;
Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.

The Quality Control Inspection team plays a key role supporting our manufacturing operations at the Maple Grove site. This role is involved in a wide range of inspection tasks, where the primary goal is to assure that the products we produce are conforming to specifications and properly evaluated for compliance to visual, dimensional, functional, and various other specified requirements.

The QC Inspector will be responsible for performing inspections in a highly regulated medical device development and manufacturing environment across all areas of standard work for the team (receiving inspection, first article inspections, label verifications, valve inspections, tissue inspections, pre‑sterile product inspections, and sterile product inspections). This is a high visibility role with daily interactions across a wide range of peer groups in the Maple Grove site.
