Xylem operates a diversified hardware and software business across water treatment, transport, and smart infrastructure—serving municipalities, utilities, and industrial customers globally. The company is mid-sized engineering-heavy (354 engineers hiring) while maintaining significant sales (202) and manufacturing (103) footprints, reflecting a hardware-software hybrid model. Current initiatives around SAP implementation, IoT adoption, and RFID integration signal modernization of legacy operational systems; cost accuracy and production efficiency remain persistent internal friction points.
