While the AI innovation race in Biopharma is focused on Drug discovery, Product Development/ CMCrepresentsthe next barrier/ bottleneck. The complexity of biological systems, the rigor of regulatory expectations, the pace of pipeline growth, and the enormous value at stake make this one of the highest-leverage domains for applied data science and AI in the entire pharmaceutical value chain.

We here at BTS - PDST, are building a dedicated, AI-native team that is driving cutting edge programs across early stage, late stage and commercial product development to accelerate E2E product development and launch, maximize yields of block buster products. Through our deep collaboration with PDST scientists we are boldly reimagining howAbbViecan bring our pipeline products and lifesaving drugs to patients faster, safer and in cost effective manner fueled by AI.

This position is a highly technical, AI-native role responsible for designing, building, and operating production-grade data pipelines and data products that power AI/ML, analytics, and automation across Abb Vie's CMC and manufacturing ecosystem.

This role is embedded inside PDST and works at the frontier of pharmaceutical data engineering. You will integrate and harmonize data from the full spectrum of manufacturing and development systems including MES, historians, LIMS, QMS, ERP, and instrument platforms and transform it into reliable, governed, semantically rich data assets that data scientists, process engineers, and AI systems can actually use.

• Enterprise-scale scope:
  Enterprise-scale biologics portfolio spanning clinical, commercial, and lifecycle stages
• Building AI playbook for the future:
  First-in-Abb Vie and first-in-biologics analytical approaches; you build the AI playbook for the future
• Growth and Impact:
  Direct impact on regulatory submissions, commercial readiness, and manufacturing decisions through deep cross-functional exposure to manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and scientific leadership
• Mission:
  Every model you build helps ensure safe, reliable medicines reach patients at scale

• Design and implement scalable, robust data ingestion pipelines that connect CMC and manufacturing source systems including MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), process historians, LIMS, QMS, ERP platforms, and instrument data sources to centralized and federated data environments.
• Build connectors, adapters, and integration layers that handle the heterogeneous data formats, protocols, and latency profiles characteristic of pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
• Support both batch and real-time/streaming data patterns, selecting appropriate architectures based on use case requirements.

• Develop andmaintainharmonized data models and ontologies that bring consistency to CMC and manufacturing data across sites, systems, and modalities.
• Execute semantic mapping efforts that align source system fields, units, and identifiers to enterprise data standards and scientific meaning.
• Collaborate with process scientists, analytical chemists, and manufacturing engineers to ensure data models accurately reflect domain reality.

• Implement automated data quality controls, validation frameworks, and anomaly detection mechanisms across pipeline layers.
• Build andmaintaindata lineage documentation and metadata infrastructure, enabling full traceability from source system to AI model input.
• Establish pipeline observability practices monitoring, alerting, SLA tracking to ensure data product reliability in production.
• Support data governance practices aligned with
  
  GxPrequirements, 21 CFR Part 11, and Abb Vie data standards.

• Architect and deliver governed, versioned, reusable data products purpose-built for AI/ML consumption, including feature stores, curated datasets, and vector-ready data layers for RAG and LLM applications.
