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 contextualize data and transition it from the physical labs to the digital world. Our innovation is fueled by diverse teams coming together to build technologies that truly impact how our scientists conduct research. We're looking for a Principal Scientist to help realize this vision. 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 Process, Product, and Analytical understanding. The tools that we develop are as diverse as the team developing them, and in this role, the chosen candidate will leverage digital technologies to enable chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) activities across our small molecule, biologics, and vaccines portfolio. This role will focus on developing and applying ontology-driven and semantic technologies that transform complex scientific information into structured, contextualized, and reusable knowledge. This includes leveraging knowledge representation, semantic enrichment, metadata strategies, and scientific data integration approaches to connect laboratory systems, instruments, data platforms, and scientific workflows. The successful candidate will help establish the semantic foundation that supports next-generation digital laboratories, AI-enabled scientific workflows, and connected pharmaceutical development. Working at the intersection of pharmaceutical science, digital technologies, and data integration, the candidate will support the development of semantic models, ontologies, and knowledge graph frameworks that improve interoperability, traceability, discoverability, and consistency across scientific systems. Through these efforts, the candidate will help enable FAIR, AI-ready scientific data ecosystems that accelerate research, enhance decision making, and improve the way scientific knowledge is generated, managed, and reused across the development lifecycle. One of the most unique aspects of this role is the opportunity to work directly with scientists developing biologics, vaccines, and small molecules while helping build the semantic and digital foundations that power next-generation pharmaceutical development. Rather than operating as a traditional informatics or IT function, this role is deeply embedded within scientific research and development, ensuring that emerging digital and semantic capabilities create meaningful impact for laboratory scientists and development teams. How You'll Make an Impact * Design the lab of the future by developing automation systems that integrate robotics, instrumentation, equipment, and software into cohesive, high-performing solutions * Translate science into systems by partnering with researchers to understand experimental needs and integrate them with scalable digital workflows * Work at the intersection of disciplines, collaborating with experts in automation, data science, modeling, IT, knowledge capture, 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 automation platforms to enhance performance, usability, and reliability * Connect the ecosystem by integrating instrument and equipment platforms with semantic context and data systems to enable end-to-end digital workflows * Empower others by providing hands-on partnership, support, troubleshooting, and training to scientists using these technologies ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Cutting LLM Costs Without Cutting Quality: How to Beat Proprietary LLMs with Fine-Tuned Open Source](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100151-cutting-llm-costs-without-cutting-quality-how-to-beat-proprietary-llms-with-fine-tuned-open-source) - [Crafting Custom Frameworks with Rust: A Deep Dive into Procedural Macros](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/849-crafting-custom-frameworks-with-rust-a-deep-dive-into-procedural-macros) - [OLTP in the Lakehouse: Redefining Data for AI Workloads](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2038-oltp-in-the-lakehouse-redefining-data-for-ai-workloads) - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025)
