  • Maintain a clean and organized laboratory environment.
  • Sensory Evaluation:
  • Conduct sensory evaluations to assess product flavor, texture, and appearance.
  • 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.
  • High IQ/intellectual horsepower and accuracy.
  • A self-starting attitude with a love for executing on ideas and moving quickly.

  • Salary: $90 - $120K per year, inclusive of cash bonus based on attainment of company targets. 
  • Company equity opportunity on top of cash compensation.
  • 100% covered Health, Vision, Dental Insurance.
  • 401(k) with 4% match.
