Your Role at Baxter

This is where your work saves lives

The research we do and the products we develop improve outcomes for patients around the world. As a Senior Principle Algorithm Engineer at Baxter, your work contributes directly to making a significant impact on others. It's challenging work—and you're not on your own. Our teams collaborate cross-functionally and lead by influence.

Our colleagues within our R&D organization desire to work on products that make a meaningful difference in others' lives. We are motivated by the power of teamwork and are natural leaders who are skilled at influencing others!

As a Senior Principal Algorithm Engineer , you will be a part of a multidisciplinary new product development team. You will be a member of a dedicated team of algorithm, AI/ML, and data analytic engineers that develop and improve cardiology and pulmonary measurement and interpretation methods to improve clinical patient outcomes. This position will understand clinical needs related to the signal processing and analysis of cardiology and pulmonary devices; algorithm functionality and performance requirements; product architecture, constraints and trade-offs; design and interface requirements of new products being developed. You will support the overall design of the product and be responsible for documentation and validation of the software inputs/outputs to ensure a safe and effective product.

The Team

While everyone at Baxter has a shared passion for our mission, the R&D teams play a meaningful role in our ability to save and sustain lives. Scientists and engineers in R&D work together to develop, test, and launch products that enhance patient care.
