Act as a hands-on technical leader across multiple programs:
Define modeling strategies and architectures
Prioritize methods and experiments
Review and challenge scientific output for quality and robustness
Partner with Discovery Platform Heads and project leaders to embed AI/ML milestones into program plans, stage-gates, and decision forums (discovery, engineering, mult-specifics)
2. AI/ML Platform Build and Innovation
Define and own a multi-year platform roadmap for large-molecule AI/ML capabilities, including models, tools, data assets, and infrastructure.
Lead the development and deployment of foundational models for antibody and protein sequence, structure, and function prediction.
Drive integration of physics-based methods (for example, MD, FEP, docking) with machine learning approaches to create hybrid models with improved accuracy and generalization.
Own data strategy for large-molecule AI/ML (data requirement, quality standard, governance)
Partner closely with engineering, computational, and laboratory teams to ensure the platform is usable, reliable, and scalable across programs and sites
3. Leadership, Talent, and Culture
Build, mentor, and retain a high-performing, multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.
Provide clear goals, expectations, and development paths and ensure high standards of scientific excellence and reproducibility.
Champion an inclusive, collaborative, and learning-oriented culture that values curiosity, rapid iteration, and rigorous validation.

The AI/ML organization at Takeda is building a team to transform how medicines are discovered. Our goal is to apply AI and machine learning across the entire drug discovery process, not just isolated steps, but as an integrated approach from target identification through development. This requires discernment: knowing which models and methods fit each problem, and the creativity to adapt when they don't. We work with foundational models, generative approaches, and autonomous systems, but the tools only matter when paired with people who understand the science deeply enough to use them well. Our team brings together computational scientists, biologists, engineers, and drug hunters. If you want to contribute your expertise to hard problems alongside colleagues with different perspectives and help shape how AI delivers real impact in drug discovery, we'd like to hear from you.

The ideal candidate combines strong ML fundamentals with an interest in biologics and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environment.
Accountabilities:
Develop and implement machine learning models for antibody property prediction, including developability attributes (stability, aggregation, immunogenicity, viscosity) to support active discovery programs.
Build predictive tools that rank antibody candidates, flag potential liabilities, and suggest sequence modifications for improved properties.
Benchmark and evaluate external computational methods and commercial AI platforms; recommend best-in-class tools for integration into internal workflows.
Innovate, develop, and apply predictive models for protein design and developability engineering, utilizing large-scale NGS, in vitro, in vivo and other proprietary in-house and external data sources.
Investigate transfer learning and few-shot learning approaches to enable rapid model deployment on new antibody formats (multi-specifics, VHH, ADCs) with limited training data.
Collaborate with experimental teams to validate predictions against assay data, iterate on model development, and integrate AI/ML outputs into Design-Predict-Make-Confirm cycles.
Establish and maintain AI performance dashboards and KPIs to track prediction accuracy, model reliability, and impact on project timelines.
Stay current with advances in machine learning for protein science and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
Education & Competencies (Technical and Behavioral):
Required:
PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or related field, OR MS with 6+ years relevant experience, OR BS with 10+ years relevant experience.
Proven track record in developing machine learning models for biological or chemical data.
Proficiency in Python and machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn).
Experience with protein sequence analysis and understanding of antibody structure-function relationships.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with demonstrated ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
Excellent communication skills to convey complex computational concepts to diverse scientific audiences.
Preferred:
Experience with protein language models (ESM, ProtTrans) or other deep learning architectures for protein property prediction.
Familiarity with antibody developability assessment (stability, aggregation, immunogenicity).
Experience with transfer learning or active learning approaches.
Prior experience in pharmaceutical or biotech R&D environment.
Experience with cloud computing (AWS, GCP) and version-controlled ML pipelines.
Additional Competencies Common in Strong Candidates
Ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and mentor junior scientists.
Experience in translating computational insights into experimental strategies
Strong publication record or demonstrated thought leadership in AI for biology and molecular design.
Comfort working in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments with evolving priorities.
