Job Description Summary
We are looking for a hands-on Scientific Computing Engineer to strengthen process modeling, statistics, and data science capabilities in Drug Product development. This role is intended for an early-career engineer with a strong quantitative foundation, practical programming skills, and the ability to translate formulation and process questions into data- and model-based solutions.
The ideal candidate has a background in mechanical engineering, process engineering, chemical engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline, and is motivated to work at the interface of pharmaceutical formulation, powder technology, process understanding, statistics, and contemporary data science.
Experience with AI or machine learning is welcome, but not the primary selection criterion. We expect that a candidate with strong engineering judgment, solid mathematics, and a fast-learning mindset can acquire the required AI methods on the job.
What you will do
You will work hands-on with formulation scientists, process engineers, data scientists,



and manufacturing experts to develop practical modeling and analytics solutions for drug product development. The focus is on building useful tools, models, analyses, and workflows that improve process understanding and support decisions from laboratory studies through scale-up.

Job Description
Major Accountabilities
- Develop and apply mechanistic, empirical, statistical, and hybrid modeling approaches to support drug product formulation and process development, especially for process understanding, scale-up, and manufacturing-relevant questions.
- Translate formulation and process questions into model- and data-ready problem statements; define success criteria, assumptions, and uncertainty considerations with subject-matter experts.
- Apply statistics, Design of Experiments, multivariate analysis, and data-driven modeling to plan experiments, analyze results, and accelerate learning cycles.
- Build predictive models an
