Job Description
REQUIREMENTS: BS/BA in food science, food technology or
nutrition required. 3+ years of innovative bench top product and program
development experience and capabilities. Ability to meet aggressive
deadlines. Nutritional or nutritional products background a plus. Knowledge
of FDA/FTC regulations. Solid, hands on, product development experience working
with nutritionally based supplements and/or functional foods is ideal. May
consider other food applications or pharms. There are a lot of flavor
companies in the area. Those working only with flavors are usually not of
interest. They want a candidate with end products product development
experience since that is their business. They do not do much flavor work.
There
is no relocation program. So, local candidates only or people who are
willing to relocate themselves. They are independently owned and have been
in business for 30+ years. They have been experiencing enormous growth the
last 2 to 3 years in which they have gone from 85 to 125+ employees and
taken production from 2 to 3 shifts. Current customers are hospitals,
doctors and clinics who specialize in weight loss and nutritional medicine.
They also sell OTC product to nutritional stores, retail stores, fitness
centers, etc. and they have a mail order service. They are working on
expanding to other markets. Their procuts are based on "real science"
and they have a very good relationship with the FDA, USDA, etc. This, along
with their fairly small size, allows them to get products FDA approved and
out to the market quickly. They are a “flat” organization so not a lot of
upward mobility title-wise but as their product lines grow all of their
employees will grow with them. They cross train all of their R&D people
on all of their products so everyone is involved with projects and they
keep their people "fresh and challenged". Currently have 10
people in their R&D group.
DUTIES:
Apply scientific principles in research, development, production,
technology, quality control, packaging and processing of nutritionally
designed foods/beverages and dietary supplements. Conduct basic nutrition
research for the development of programs to support product utilization.
Conduct bench top product development, taking products from original
concept to manufacturing and commercialization. Researches and develops
nutrition and product parameters for unique applications and new markets.
Evaluate raw materials and finished product provided by contract
manufacturers for product quality and process feasibility. Provide
evaluation and recommendation for product improvements by addressing
flavor, texture, nutritional value,
convenience, composition and cost. Recommend specific ingredient processes
and packaging materials. Provide technical support to current customer base.
