Assess high-impact AI use cases across our contract manufacturing network
Develop workflows and prompts using AI platforms (Claude, GPT, etc.)
Build Python prototypes for AI applications and automation
Evaluate AI tools suitable for pharmaceutical manufacturing, accounting for regulatory and data governance requirements
Present findings and recommendations to the team
Required Skills
Exceptional Python and SQL, including experience with data manipulation and analysis
Hands‑on experience with LLM prompt engineering and MCP based data integrations
Ability to work independently and translate ambiguous business problems into technical approaches
Strong communication skills with an ability to present technical work to non-technical stakeholders
Desired Skills
Experience with NLP, deep learning and neural network techniques, predictive modeling, OCR and text extraction concepts a plus

Experience building end-to-end prototypes or normalizing/processing unstructured data
Exposure to cloud platforms and AI services (Azure, AWS, GCP)
Understanding of data governance, privacy, or compliance considerations
Interest in pharmaceutical/biotech or other regulated industries
