Vantive: A New Company Built On Our Legacy

Baxter is on a journey to separate our ~$5B Kidney Care segment into a standalone company. Vantive* will build on our nearly 70-year legacy in acute therapies and home and in-center dialysis to provide best-in-class care to the people we serve.

Your role:

Join us as we revolutionize the treatment landscape and help improve patient lives worldwide. Baxter plans to spin off our ~$5B Kidney Care segment as an independent company. The new standalone entity will leverage our nearly 70-year legacy in acute therapies and home and in-center dialysis to provide best-in-class care to the people we serve. With its own investment priorities and enhanced management focus, the company will be better positioned to pursue growth opportunities and invest in innovation. We will build on our leadership in the kidney care space, fueled by our steadfast focus on innovation, our passion for patients and their families and our expertise in operational excellence.

This is where you can make an impact.

You will play a key role in the design and development of new and novel water treatment systems to meet the unique needs of our patients. Leveraging your strong technical background in chemistry, chemical engineering, and/or environmental engineering and with a proven track record in designing and implementing water purification systems using the latest technologies, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions that exceed expectations and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

What you'll be doing:

• Contribute to research and development efforts to design, prototype, and demonstrate feasibility of new water purification technologies for medical applications.
• Conduct detailed technical analyses and feasibility studies to evaluate different water treatment technologies and system configurations.
• Bring rigorous critical thinking to ensure that key “killer” questions are addressed early in exploratory through best-in-class application of modeling, analysis, and empirical methods.
• Perform process simulations and modeling to optimize system performance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
• Evaluate and select appropriate materials, components, and equipment for water treatment systems based on performance requirements and budget constraints.
• Work closely with vendors and suppliers to source components and equipment, negotiate contracts, and ensure timely delivery of materials.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including equipment specifications, operating manuals, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory requirements related to water treatment to identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.

What you'll bring:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in chemistry, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in designing water treatment systems for industrial or municipal applications.
• Strong knowledge of water chemistry, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and mass transfer principles.
• Strong technical and problem-solving skills.  Proven ability to make sound decisions, think critically and break down complex problems through application of first engineering principles.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to effectively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and present technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Familiarity with regulatory requirements and industry standards for water treatment systems, such as FDA, EPA, and ANSI/AAMI, is desirable.
