Your role at Baxter

As an Interoperability Engineer, you will be responsible for the verification of medical device digital interoperability. You will ensure that Baxter devices meet defined system and interface requirements for interoperating with other medical devices and healthcare IT systems, such as hospital infrastructure, middleware, and digital applications.

This role applies a systems engineering foundation with a strong emphasis on requirements‑based verification, interface testing, and system integration activities. The position does not own validation activities, but collaborates closely with teams responsible for clinical and user validation.

Your team

You will work within a cross‑functional environment that includes Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Verification, Quality, Cybersecurity, IT, and Clinical stakeholders. The team values disciplined execution, collaboration, and clear ownership to deliver compliant and reliable interoperable medical device solutions.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and maintain interoperability verification requirements, including traceability from system and interface requirements to verification evidence

• Develop and execute verification plans, test cases, and test procedures for interoperability-related requirements

• Perform system-level and interface-level verification testing for device‑to‑device and device‑to‑IT connectivity

• Support system integration testing activities for connected medical device solutions

• Collaborate with Systems and Software Engineering teams to ensure interoperability designs are verifiable and testable

• Assess interoperability-related changes and determine verification impact and required test coverage

• Troubleshoot and support resolution of interoperability defects identified during verification and integration testing

• Generate clear, compliant verification documentation and evidence to support design control and regulatory needs

• Apply understanding of clinical workflows and intended use when defining representative verification scenarios

• Demonstrate working knowledge of FDA, ISO, IEC, and software lifecycle standards as they apply to verification of connected medical devices

• Contribute to continuous improvement of interoperability verification methods, tools, and best practices

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Systems, Biomedical, Computer, Electrical, or related discipline)

• 2+ years of experience in medical device or regulated product development, with a focus on verification activities

• Systems engineering background with strong experience in requirements management, traceability, and verification planning

• Hands‑on experience with system, interface, or integration verification testing

• Familiarity with medical device interoperability concepts, healthcare IT integration, or connected systems

• Experience participating in design control and change management processes

• Strong technical documentation, organization, and analytical skills

• Effective written and verbal communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration

• Experience with requirements and verification tools (e.g., DOORS, ALM tools) preferred

• Exposure to healthcare data exchange mechanisms or interface specifications is a plus
