Scientific Machine Learning Engineer
Schrödinger, New York
The role
Our Hit Discovery team builds computational workflows that combine machine learning with chemical physics to efficiently evaluate billions of potential drug molecules. As a member of this group, you’ll collaborate with research scientists on improving the accuracy and applicability of these methods and turn them into robust, scalable software products.
What you will do
- Design, build, and test scalable software for ML virtual screening pipelines, integrating ML applications with physics-based backends (such as docking and free energy perturbation) to optimize hit and hit-to-lead campaigns
- Work closely with scientists to adapt and expand our existing workflows for new discovery cases, as well as help develop new methodologies with our current pipelines
- Explore scientific literature and benchmark novel ML approaches to improve the applicability and accuracy of core hit discovery workflows
