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.





Pilot plant optimization & engineering development Actively participate in machine selection and installation. Support to run scale-up trials, including process validation and data generation for industrial transfer. Support to amend process documentation (SOPs, PFDs, P&IDs;, scale-up reports).

Scale-up of upstream, fermentation and downstream processes from pilot plant to industrial scale Industrial Strategy & Facility Design Contribute to FOAK facility design, including capacity planning and modular expansion concepts. Support capex planning and equipment sourcing decisions based on process requirements.

External Manufacturing Translate Kult

Farm processes into partner-compatible production setups. Support industrial trials and process transfer to external facilities. Design a supply chain aligned with process needs (raw materials, substrates, packaging).

Collaborate on logistics, storage, and production planning tied to process constraints. Degree in food engineering, bioprocess engineering, chemical engineering, or similar ~8+ years in the food industry with direct involvement in process scale-up and industrial production, incl. set up of production lines ~ Proven experience scaling food production from NPD ~→ industrial scale; Hands-on experience designing or commissioning production lines or facilities; Well-connected across equipment suppliers, engineering firms, and production experts; Comfortable working in early-stage, ambiguous environments and turning incomplete data into actionable engineering decisions. ~ Spanish at B2 to C1 level is strongly beneficiery You will work in a cross-disciplinary Production team with food technologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, engineers at a cutting-edge technology. The opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology and make a true impact on the environment and our food system
