Job DescriptionWe are seeking a
Senior Scientist to join our DSCS Digital Technologies (DDT) organization, within Development Sciences and Clinical Supply (DSCS), located in either Rahway, NJ or West Point, PA.
In this role, the chosen candidate will work with a team of scientists tasked with identifying, developing, and deploying digital and data-rich technologies aimed at improving the manner in which process, product, and analytical understanding is gathered. The tools that we develop are as the team developing them, and in this
Senior Scientist role, the chosen candidate will leverage digital technologies to enable chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) activities across our company's small molecule, biologics, and vaccines portfolio.
The chosen candidate will leverage digital technologies, hardware integration approaches, and benchtop automation capabilities - focusing on applications within the PAT community - to help advance our scientific research. This includes, but is not limited to, developing custom automation technologies to enable implementation of PAT, delivering solutions for integrating analytical instrumentation and sensors, developing software capabilities across process and product hardware, leveraging state-of-the-art robotics to automate pharmaceutical processes, applying creative data science approaches to enable PAT realization, and inventing innovative data-rich, PAT-focused approaches for pharmaceutical development across modalities and scales. As such, the chosen candidate should have a robust background in analytical technologies, benchtop laboratory automation, and physical and digital integration of PAT tools, with an emphasis on developing creative new solutions to enable the next generation of pharmaceutical processes, product, and methods.
How You'll Make an Impact- Design the lab of the future by developing technologies that integrate robotics, analytical instrumentation, and software into cohesive, high-performing solutions
- Deliver world-renowned science by partnering with researchers to understand experimental needs and convert them into scalable digital workflows
- Work at the intersection of multiple disciplines, collaborating with experts in automation, data science, modeling, IT, and the CMC community at large
- Lead high-impact projects from concept through deployment, working across teams and stakeholders to deliver meaningful outcomes
- Continuously improve existing digital technologies and automation platforms to enhance performance, usability, and reliability
- Empower others by providing hands-on partnership, support, troubleshooting, and training to scientists using these technologies
Education Minimum Requirement:- A Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Engineering (i.e., Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical), Physics, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Material Science or a closely-related field (expected graduation by the end of 2026)
- A M.S. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Engineering (i.e., Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical), Physics, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Material Science or a closely-related field with at least 2 years of relevant experience
- A B.S. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Engineering (i.e., Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical), Physics, Biology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Material Science or a closely-related field with at least 4 years of relevant experience
Required Experience and Skills:- Highly-motivated and technology-centric scientist that is passionate about modernizing our company's development practices across biologics, vaccines, and small molecule modalities.
