About KULT FARM

KULT FARM makes a true and natural alternative to meat from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.

Our mission is to foster the world's transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.

Our planet cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.

This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.

Tasks

Translate our mycelium-based production from pilot-scale to industrial-grade manufacturing. Your primary responsibility is to design, validate, and implement scalable production processes, ensuring that our Solid-State Fermentation (SSF), upstream and downstream processing (DSP) can operate reliably at commercial scale.

You will work hands-on with our pilot plant team, upgrade current processes to industrial,



and build the technical backbone required for scaling—whether executed internally or via selected external partners. External manufacturing and supply chain design are part of your scope, but always derived from a deep understanding of process requirements, equipment constraints, and production economics.

This is not a pure management role. We are looking for an engineer who has personally scaled processes and facilities, and who can translate first-of-a-kind systems into industrial reality.

Key Responsibilities
- Pilot plant optimization & engineering development
- Actively participate in machine selection and installation.
- Support running scale-up trials, including process validation and data generation for industrial transfer.
- Support amendment of process documentation (SOPs, PFDs, P&IDs;, scale-up reports).
- Scale-up of upstream, fermentation and downstream processes from pilot plant to industri
