  • Analyze consumer feedback and preferences.
  • Perform laboratory experiments, including physical property measurements.

What you’ll bring:

  • Minimum 2+ industry experience in the food science field.
  • A strong curiosity and desire to discover the latest food technologies that can enable the design of high-protein, low-calorie, blood-sugar-friendly foods that taste delicious.
  • A desire to challenge traditional methods and experiment.
