What is a Computer Aided Drug Design job?

A Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) job involves using computational tools and techniques to assist in the discovery and development of new drugs. Professionals in this field utilize molecular modeling, docking simulations, and artificial intelligence to predict drug-target interactions and optimize lead compounds. They work closely with medicinal chemists and biologists to streamline the drug discovery process, reducing the time and cost of developing new therapeutics. CADD experts may be employed in pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, or biotech firms.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Computer Aided Drug Design position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Computer Aided Drug Design, a strong background in computational chemistry, molecular modeling, and a relevant degree in chemistry, biochemistry, or pharmaceutical sciences is essential. Proficiency with specialized software such as Schrödinger, AutoDock, MOE, and familiarity with programming languages like Python or R are commonly required. Effective communication, problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams are valuable soft skills. These competencies enable professionals to efficiently model drug interactions, interpret complex data, and contribute to successful drug discovery projects.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of someone working in Computer Aided Drug Design?

Professionals in Computer Aided Drug Design typically spend their days running molecular simulations, performing virtual screening of compound libraries, analyzing binding interactions, and interpreting computational results to guide experimental drug development. They collaborate closely with medicinal chemists, biologists, and other team members to align computational findings with laboratory priorities. Preparing scientific reports, presenting findings, and refining computational methods based on feedback are also common aspects of the role. This blend of tasks makes the work both intellectually challenging and highly collaborative.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Junior ASIC Design Engineer to lead and contribute to research activities and engineering work focused on developing custom instrumentation for extreme radiation and/or cryogenic environments.

What your day-to-day as a Junior ASIC Design Engineer at Fermilab will look like:

  • Performing a leading role in Analog and RF ASIC design projects, while being able to contribute individually to major design tasks.

  • Developing design specifications for ASICs based on theoretical analyses and in conjunction with application needs.

  • Designing circuit networks using schematic entry and layout tools with full custom or timing-driven layout tools in Cadence CAD/EDA or a similar environment.

  • Models circuit networks and system components in hardware-description languages (Verilog-A and Verilog/SystemVerilog).

  • Building test benches and carries out analog and/or RF circuit simulations.

  • Executing physical and functional circuit and system verification.

  • Preparing documentation and participates in test-board designs and laboratory testing.

  • Delivering presentations internally, at national and international workshops, and at the topical conferences.

  • Performing other duties as assigned by supervisor.
