Principal Scientist, Data Science – R&D DSDH - Therapeutics Development & Supply (TDS)
Position Summary
- Design, build, and optimize data capture, processing, and storage solutions to enable advanced analytics, digital process transformation, and AI/ML applications across the development-to-supply continuum for TDS.
- Hands-on technical contributor delivering AI-ready data pipelines and data products across Process Development, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and Digital/Data Science teams.
- Create robust, future-proof data systems, engineering workflows, and high-value data repositories supporting scientific, technical, and operational decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Data Engineering & Pipeline Development
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines to acquire, integrate, and manage TDS data from lab systems, MES, clinical supply, quality systems, and external partners.
- Create and optimize data flows for structured and unstructured data using Python, R, SQL, cloud services, and modern engineering tools.
- Develop and maintain TDS-specific data repositories with enterprise-level data models.
- Enable AI/ML readiness via well-structured, versioned, traceable data semantically aligned to enterprise standards.
- Data Product & Architecture Partnership
- Translate business needs into data products and engineering requirements with data scientists and domain experts.
- Implement semantic models and future-proof architectures with ontology/knowledge graph teams.
- Quality, Compliance & Performance
- Implement data quality/performance standards; define KPIs for accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
- Use data versioning and lineage tracking for compliance, traceability, and audit readiness.
- Follow software best practices (code versioning, DevOps, documentation).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Engage stakeholders to design solutions and drive adoption.
- Manage multiple concurrent projects and deliver maximum business value.
Qualifications
- Required
- Advanced degree (Engineering, Data Science, Life Sciences, Computer Science, or related); advanced degree preferred.
- 3+ years in data engineering, including data modeling and database design (scientific, manufacturing, or healthcare preferred).
- Proficiency with Python, R, SQL, and cloud architectures (AWS services, Snowflake, Redshift).
- Experience with NoSQL and graph databases.
- Strong analytical/problem-solving and stakeholder-management skills.
- Ability to drive multiple projects with strong organization and adaptability.
- Preferred
- Regulated/standards-driven data experience (CDISC, HL7, FHIR, OMOP, DICOM, manufacturing/quality standards).
- Experience with high-dimensional data (e.g., imaging, sensor data).
- Knowledge/principles supporting MLOps and model deployment workflows.
- Familiarity with manufacturing systems (MES), laboratory information systems, or industrial data systems.
- Exposure to knowledge graph or ontology-driven architectures.
Required/Preferred Skills
- Advanced Analytics, Critical Thinking, Data Analysis, Data Quality, Data Reporting, Data Privacy Standards, Data Savvy, Data Science, Data Visualization, Digital Fluency, Workflow Analysis, Technical Credibility, Strategic Thinking, Process Improvements, Organizing
