Description

Do you want to make a delicious difference?

As a Bioprocess Engineer Intern, you will design, optimize, and scale up precision fermentation processes for cocoa butter alternatives, while maintaining laboratory equipment and analyzing data.

  • Design and optimize precision fermentations for cocoa butter alternatives in collaboration with the team
  • Operate and maintain bioreactor systems and other essential laboratory equipment
  • Conduct experiments, collect samples, and perform analytical tests to monitor and evaluate process performance
  • Analyze data to identify trends, optimize process parameters, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Support process scale-up, DSP activities, technology transfer, process validation, and develop strategies to improve efficiency and productivity

  • Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Bioprocess Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or a related field
  • A strong familiarity with bioreactor systems, fermentation processes, sample collection and analysis, and commonly used laboratory equipment in downstream processing is highly advantageous
  • Knowledge of basic principles and concepts of fermentation and/or process engineering
  • Experience with lipid extraction techniques (e.g., solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, membrane separation) is an advantage
  • Basic understanding of process optimization principles and statistical analysis techniques with data analysis software (e.g., Excel, MATLAB, Python) is a plus
  • Attention to detail and ability to follow experimental protocols
