Job description
Senior Scientist, DSCS Digital Technologies - Laboratory Automation, High Throughput Formulation
We are seeking a Senior Scientist to join our DSCS Digital Technologies (DDT) organization, within Development Sciences and Clinical Supply (DSCS), located in Rahway, NJ.
Primary Responsibilities
We are a global biopharmaceutical leader with a portfolio of prescription medicines, oncology, vaccines and animal health products. We are driven by our purpose to develop and deliver innovative products that save and improve lives. With 69,000 employees operating in more than 140 countries, we offer state-of-the-art laboratories, plants and offices that are designed to inspire our employees as we learn, develop and grow in our careers. We are proud of our over 125 years of service to humanity and continue to be one of the world's biggest investors in Research & Development.
In the Development Sciences and Clinical Supply (DSCS) organization, we believe digital is the force multiplier that enables faster experiments, smarter decisions, more robust supply chains, and is ultimately redefining how we bring medicines to patients.
Within DSCS, the DSCS Digital Technologies (DDT) team is building the next generation of data-rich, connected lab environments-where hardware, software, and AI-driven tools work together to accelerate pharmaceutical development. Our goal is simple but ambitious: embed advanced digital capabilities into the DNA of how we work. We believe this future starts with a strong foundation of laboratory tools: innovative robotics, process analytical technology (PAT), high-throughput technologies, reliable instrumentation, and integrated systems that seamlessly transition data from the physical labs to the digital world. We believe innovation is fueled by teams that come together to build technologies that truly impact how our scientists conduct research. We're looking for a Senior Scientist to help make this vision real.
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 high throughput experimentation and lab automation approaches, focusing on applications in drug product and/or drug substance development, to help advance scientific research. This includes, but is not limited to, developing high throughput experimentation platforms and generating datasets in support of drug product development and/or drug substance development activities in vaccine and/or biologics.

- B.S. in Chemical/Biochemical/Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a closely-related field with at least 4 years of industrial/pharmaceutical or relevant experience
Required Experience and Skills:
- Relevant working experience in drug product and/or drug substance development in support of biologics and/or vaccines assets
- Hands-on experience with usage of high-throughput lab automation technologies to streamline formulation and/or bioprocess development
- Hands-on experience with biochemical and biophysical analytical technologies commonly utilized in drug product development
- Demonstrated entrepreneurship skills aimed at delivering impactful novel technologies to key stakeholders
- Excellent communication skills, demonstrated creativity, and effective interpersonal skills
- Ability to deliver complex solutions under compressed timelines in a dynamic environment
- Ability to work in a team environment with cross-functional interactions
Preferred Experience and Skills:
- Hands-on experience with the development and implementation of high-throughput lab automation technologies to streamline formulation and/or bioprocess development
- Experience with the development and implementation of design of experiments, data science, and data engineering tools to accelerate formulation or bioprocess development
- Experience in new technology research, including a demonstrated track record of identifying, developing, and deploying data-rich tools and methodologies
- Evidence of cross-functional collaboration in an academic or industrial setting
- Motivated to learn new skills, willingness to take on new challenges, and scientific curiosity
