Here, you will find more than just a job—you will find purpose and pride.

Baxter develops technologies that clinicians and patients depend on every day. As Senior Manager, R&D Mechanical Engineering, you will lead the team responsible for designing safe, reliable, and manufacturable infusion products. Your impact will extend from early architecture through verification, design transfer, production scale-up, and ongoing product improvement.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who wants to build an exceptional engineering organization while remaining close to the technology. You will strengthen design quality and risk-based development, accelerate decisions, develop talent, and unite R&D, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing, and external partners around clear outcomes.
