Overview

Transformation at Waters Corporation is driving the next phase of enterprise evolution. Our mission is to accelerate integration, execution, and value capture while transforming the capabilities that power our business. As part of our vision for the Enterprise of the Future, we are building the data foundation required for advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, while actively developing Agentic AI capabilities to accelerate data-driven automation across the enterprise. This work enables smarter decision making, scalable automation, and faster realization of business value. This is a unique opportunity to join a team at the center of Waters’ transformation, working on high-impact initiatives that shape the future of the enterprise. As a Principal Pricing Data Engineer, you will be a senior technical contributor and domain expert who partners closely with other members of the Pricing Excellence team, as well as colleagues across each Division. You will bring deep technical expertise and own technical solutions for the pricing domain, operating with a high degree of independence. You will design, build, and enhance robust data pipelines, platforms, and automation that specifically enable pricing strategy, analytics, and execution. This includes supporting advanced pricing capabilities such as price waterfall analysis, discount optimization, segmentation, and margin expansion. This role remains hands-on but with elevated responsibility for data architecture, pricing data models, and cross-functional alignment. You will serve as a key problem solver for complex pricing data challenges and a trusted partner to both technical and business stakeholders, ensuring pricing data is accurate, accessible, and actionable across the enterprise.**This role is hybrid and the office is located in Milford, MA.
