About the role

QuidelOrtho unites the strengths of Quidel Corporation and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, creating a world-leading in vitro diagnostics company with award-winning expertise in immunoassay and molecular testing, clinical chemistry and transfusion medicine.
We are more than 6,000 strong and do business in over 130 countries, providing answers with fast, accurate and consistent testing where and when they are needed most - home to hospital, lab to clinic.
Join us in our mission to transform the power of diagnostics into a healthier future for all.

Design relational schemas, views, indexes, and constraints that balance performance, maintainability, and regulatory traceability.
Participate in requirements, architecture, design, verification, and validation activities within a regulated quality management system (FDA, IEC 62304, ISO 13485).
Software development partners and suppliers.

Design database interfaces and usage patterns that minimize the need for future migrations, while still enabling safe, versioned evolution when required.
NOTE: If you are working remotely, you must be able to travel to Rochester, NY on as-needed basis (about once a quarter).

B.S. or M.S. Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a related discipline required.
Demonstrated expertise in designing and evolving relational schemas
optimizing queries through execution plan analysis
Experience supporting on-device or embedded databases, where the database runs locally on a deployed system rather than as a managed cloud service.
Strong understanding of data evolution strategies, including migrations, versioned schemas, and backward compatibility.
Strong analytical skills and ability to reason about system-wide performance and data integrity tradeoffs.
Ability to travel 5% or less, domestically.
Experience tuning databases for non-cloud, appliance-style deployments.

Define standards for database versioning, migration strategy, and backward compatibility suitable for regulated, fielded systems.

The salary range for this position is $100,000 to $120,000 and is bonus eligible.

Our culture puts our team members first and prioritizes actions that support happiness, inspiration and engagement.
We strive to build meaningful connections with each other as we believe that employee happiness and business success are linked.
