Company Overview
Merck is a global research-intensive biopharmaceutical company, known as MSD outside the United States and Canada. Its portfolio spans prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, and animal health products.
The company's mission centers on using the power of leading-edge science to save and improve lives around the world — work that runs from discovery research through development, regulatory approval, manufacturing, and global supply.
Delivering that at scale is as much an engineering and technology challenge as a scientific one: process and manufacturing engineering, automation, data science, digital platforms, and cybersecurity all sit alongside laboratory research in how Merck operates.
