This is where new knowledge is discovered. Baxter's Research and Development teams work cross functionally to innovate, develop and introduce creative solutions for patients needs globally. From Scientists to Engineers, your work creates the products that save and sustain lives. Baxter's Front Line Care business products expand Diagnosis & Therapies in the context of connected monitoring, cardiology and respiratory health. The earlier the diagnosis & treatment for these patients – the better the quality of life. The $1.2B business portfolio includes products for Cardiology, Patient monitoring, airway clearance, ventilation and Intelligent diagnostics. As a Senior Manager – Hardware & Systems Verification, you will lead a multidisciplinary organization spanning Electrical/Electronic Engineering & System Verification & Validation (V&V) for electro-mechanical medical devices. This is a strategic leadership role aimed at expanding technical and organizational breadth across: Hardware design (electrical + mechanical), Embedded systems and controls integration, System-level verification, validation, and quality assurance. You will drive end-to-end product realization, influencing: Sustenance engineering and product lifecycle management & New Product Development (NPD) from concept through commercialization, Innovation and technology strategies. You will collaborate with global cross-functional teams to deliver safe, compliant, high-quality medical devices while shaping the future of R&D capabilities.
