Our mission is to redefine how we grow these products, achieving faster production cycles that use significantly less land, water, and energy. With a sharp focus on addressing global environmental challenges, we’re building innovative, resource-efficient alternatives to conventional agricultural practices.


This is a collaborative, inclusive environment where science, technology, and sustainability intersect. You’ll join a passionate team dedicated to advancing cellular agriculture through creative problem-solving, rigorous research, and cross-functional teamwork—all while driving meaningful change in the way we produce the resources the world relies on.

  • Mentorship and Influence: You’ll mentor junior engineers, foster team collaboration, and guide leadership with data-driven insights.

  • Project Planning and Agile Management: Define project scope, timelines, and budgets. Act as a Scrum Master to keep project tasks focused and coordinated, overseeing daily stand-ups and milestone reviews.
  • Technology Transfer and Cross-Functional Collaboration: Facilitate the transfer of new technologies or methods from R&D to manufacturing, coordinating with other departments to ensure smooth integration.
  • Equipment Design, Validation, and Maintenance: Select and validate equipment needed for production, ensuring compliance with regulations. This includes creating testing and maintenance protocols and training junior staff.
  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Compliance: Ensure that manufacturing practices meet regulatory standards, leading audits and compliance training for the team.
  • Risk Management and Issue Resolution: Identify and manage project risks, develop methods to resolve challenges, and coach the team on safety and risk mitigation practices.
  • Continuous Improvement and Process Optimization: Review completed projects to identify improvements, using data insights to enhance both project management and engineering workflows.


Key Competencies

  • Engineering Excellence: Strong knowledge of bioreactor systems and process scaling.
  • Agile and Scrum Proficiency: Familiarity with Agile principles, ideally certified in PMP or Scrum, to lead projects in an engineering environment.
  • Risk Management: Ability to foresee and mitigate operational risks.
  • Collaboration and Communication: Skilled in working with cross-functional teams and communicating clearly across departments.
  • Influence: Ability to shape strategies and provide insight for decision-making.

  • Education: BS or MS degree in Engineering, Biotechnology, Industrial Engineering (with a focus on Biomanufacturing or Process Engineering) or related field.
  • Experience with bioreactor operations, manufacturing, and compliance. Ideally, experience with control systems and risk management.
  • Project Management Certification: (PMP, PMI-ACP, or Scrum Master) preferred.
  • Strong Leadership and Communication Skills: Ability to mentor others, solve complex problems, and communicate effectively with diverse audiences.
