Senior Process Data Scientist/Development Engineer - AI-Driven Bioprocess Innovation Help reinvent how biopharmaceutical processes are designed, scaled, and optimized. A North American AI technology company is looking for a Senior Process Development Engineer to bring deep bioprocess and mechanistic modeling expertise to a new generation of AI-powered manufacturing technology. You'll work directly with leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to solve complex process challenges—from process development and scale-up to technology transfer and commercial manufacturing.

You'll combine first-principles modeling, process engineering, and AI to turn real manufacturing data into better decisions, faster optimization, and measurable operational impact. This is an prospect to move beyond traditional process simulation and help shape how AI-driven digital twins are applied to biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Partner directly with pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers to solve complex process development and manufacturing challenges Translate real-world manufacturing problems into modeling strategies, technical solutions, and product capabilities Lead projects from initial process assessment through implementation and measurable customer impact Analyze experimental and manufacturing data to understand process behavior, identify bottlenecks, and uncover optimization opportunities Build dynamic simulations that combine fundamental engineering principles with data-driven and AI approaches Apply models to process optimization, scale-up/scale-down, technology transfer, process control, and manufacturing improvement Develop,



calibrate, validate, and interpret models using experimental and plant/manufacturing data 7-10+ years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing, process development, MSAT, or a closely related field ~ Experience working across laboratory, pilot, or commercial-scale operations ~ Strong foundation in first-principles and mechanistic modeling ~ Experience applying models to real process-development or manufacturing problems ~ Strong communication skills and the ability to work directly with technical customers and cross-functional teams Relevant Technical Experience Upstream: cell culture, fermentation, growth kinetics, metabolic modeling, nutrient consumption, product formation Process modeling: digital twins, dynamic simulation, scale-up/scale-down modeling, process optimization, process control Experience with Python, MATLAB, gPROMS, Aspen Custom Modeler, COMSOL, Julia , or similar modeling platforms Experience in commercial manufacturing, MSAT, technology transfer, or process validation Experience connecting models with experimental, pilot, or manufacturing data Experience with digital twins, hybrid modeling, or AI-enabled process optimization PhD or advanced degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or a related discipline is a plus This isn't a traditional process engineering role.

Work directly with leading pharmaceutical companies Influence both customer solutions and the evolution of the product Help move bioprocess modeling from analysis into real-time, actionable manufacturing decisions #
