What is a valve engineer?

Valve engineers are professionals who design, develop, test, and maintain valves used in various industrial systems, such as oil and gas, water treatment, and manufacturing. Their work ensures that valves function efficiently and safely to control the flow of liquids, gases, or other materials. Valve engineers often collaborate with other engineering teams to select appropriate valve types, troubleshoot issues, and optimize system performance.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a valve engineer?

To thrive as a Valve Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, and materials science, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency in CAD software, valve sizing and selection tools, and familiarity with industry standards such as API and ASME certifications are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and ensuring project success. These competencies are crucial for designing, maintaining, and troubleshooting valves that ensure safety and efficiency in industrial systems.

What are some common challenges valve engineers face when working on multidisciplinary project teams?

Valve Engineers often collaborate with professionals from mechanical, electrical, and process engineering backgrounds on complex projects. A common challenge is ensuring that valve specifications meet both industry standards and the unique requirements of each project while maintaining clear communication across disciplines. Additionally, balancing project timelines with the need for thorough testing and quality assurance can be demanding. Successful Valve Engineers are proactive in addressing integration issues early and adapt to evolving project needs by staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

What is the difference between Valve Engineering vs Mechanical Engineering?

AspectValve EngineeringMechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsTypically requires a degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, with specialized knowledge in valve design and fluid dynamicsRequires a degree in Mechanical Engineering, often with broader focus on machinery, thermodynamics, and materials
Work EnvironmentPrimarily in manufacturing, oil & gas, or industrial settings focused on valve design, testing, and maintenanceVaries across industries including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, often involving design, analysis, and testing of mechanical systems
Industry UsageSpecialized within industries that require valve systems, such as oil & gas, water treatment, and power generationWidely used across multiple industries including automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing

Valve Engineering focuses specifically on designing, testing, and maintaining valves used in various industries, requiring specialized knowledge. Mechanical Engineering offers a broader scope, covering general machinery and systems. Both roles share foundational engineering principles but differ in specialization and application.

Job description

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.

At Anteris Technologies, our Research & Development teams are focused on advancing innovative structural heart technologies designed to improve patient outcomes and redefine the future of valve therapy. We are building pipelines of engineering talent to support new product development, systems engineering, sustaining engineering, and cross-functional innovation efforts across our growing organization.

We are interested in connecting with engineers who bring experience in:

  • medical device design and development
  • systems engineering
  • catheter-based technologies
  • tissue engineering
  • sustaining engineering
  • product lifecycle management
  • verification and validation
  • risk management, or
  • complex electromechanical and biologic systems.

Successful candidates are technically strong, collaborative, solutions-oriented, and comfortable working within highly regulated environments. Experience supporting Class III medical devices, structural heart technologies, design controls, and FDA or ISO-regulated development processes is highly valued.

This posting may support hiring across various engineering levels. Anticipated base salary ranges are generally as follows:

  • Engineer I: $80 - $100k
  • Engineer II:  $85 - $110k
  • Senior Engineer: $115 - $140k
  • Principal Engineer: $140 - $170k

 Join a mission-driven team working to develop breakthrough technologies that have the potential to transform patient care globally.

These evergreen postings are designed to connect us with talented individuals interested in future opportunities at Anteris Technologies. Because openings may vary over time, additional details regarding specific responsibilities, qualifications, work arrangements, and compensation will be shared as candidates move forward in the process for individual roles.

Note: We may require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to comply with health institutions, state, local municipality, and/or travel regulations.

Anteris Technologies recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status as required by applicable law. We have a clear vision: to be a place of belonging for all humans by promoting diversity, multiculturism and inclusion, as a goal and reflection across the organization. Diversity is more than a commitment - it is part of our mission to deliver the best structural heart products on a global scale.
