Description

Your RolePlan and execute fermentation R&D campaigns focused on cost reduction and performance improvement (DoE / data-driven iterations)
Optimize strains, media, and process parameters while tracking key fermentation variables and defining clear success metrics
Design, run, and troubleshoot lab and pilot-scale fermentations (setup, monitoring, sampling and post-run analysis)
Analyze fermentation samples (e.g., metabolite/product profiling, process monitoring; HPLC implementation, execution and interpretation)
Improve experimental throughput and handover (parallelization, standardized workflows, faster R&D-to-production transitions)
Support scale-up and tech transfer by translating findings into repeatable protocols and practical recommendations
Maintain strong documentation and quality practices (experimental plans, protocols, batch records, validation-style reporting)
Champion aseptic technique and lab safety and contribute to improving SOPs

Your ProfileMSc or PhD in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Biochemical Engineering, Fermentation Technology, Food Technology, or related
MSc with at least 4 years or PhD with at least 1 year hands-on applied/industrial fermentation experience (lab-scale; pilot exposure is a plus)
Proven ability to optimize and troubleshoot fermentation processes (not just run them)
Strong data analysis and scientific communication to turn unexpected runs into decisions
Analytical experience (HPLC): implementing and running methods, interpreting chromatograms, reporting results clearly
Structured, proactive working style with ownership, prioritization, and delivery mindset
Comfortable taking end-to-end ownership in a small-team lab and start-up environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
Strong plus (preferred) Experience with bacterial cellulose or closely related microbial production systems
Experience with valorization of side streams / process sustainability improvements (turning “waste” into value)
Familiarity with bioacids and/or microbial preservation systems for food or cosmetics
Comfort working across disciplines (R&D, scale-up, operations)
