Research Scientist. Process Development & Modelling | Barcelona | Heura Foods At Heura, we're food activists, and our mission is to provide a solution that leaves animals out of the equation, while sustainably feeding millions of people. Technology allows us to build a food system that not only solves our current challenges but also responds to our values.YOUR CHALLENGELet's start by seeing if you're passionate about the following responsibilities:Responsible for the development of new robust, cost-efficient processes to enable lean manufacturing solutions for science-based innovationsWorking alongside a multidisciplinary team of research scientists to aid the development of novel food products and related manufacturing processesDesign and drive lab & pilot scale experimental plan to target Proof of Concept & Process of manufacturing methods both in house and in external facilitiesExplore out-of-the-box, scalable processing techniques that contribute to developing proprietary technologies from scientific discoveriesDesign, implement, validate and run mathematical and predictive computational models applied to discovery and scale-up of new process linesDefine scaling up routes and lead the design of new equipment for large-scale manufacturing in collaboration with research and process engineering partnersContribute to patent drafting and scientific substantiation of patent claimsDefine Technology Transfer plans in collaboration with the Technology Transfer Manager, ensure resources and anticipate needsContribute to scientific publications and presentation of results in international scientific conferencesDevelop domain expertise and share knowledge with R&D peers and operations/engineering team membersRequirementsA Ph.D. or Eng.D. in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics or equivalent scientific/engineering discipline and +7 years of industrially relevant experienceIn-depth understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, plasticity, fracture mechanics, failure analysis, engineering design concepts, and materials engineering is essentialExperience in taking an idea/product or process from early-stage research through to the scale-up phaseResearch experience in modeling and setup of predictive computational process simulations in the area of chemical engineeringUnderstanding and/or hands-on research experience in fibrillation processing techniquesExperience in process intensification and continuous manufacturing, with an aim of reducing manufacturing footprint is a plusExperience in bioreactor design is a plusExtracting simplified, yet reasonably accurate model representations from complex physical and biochemical processes/reactionsProven record of scientific and technical innovationProficient in reviewing scientific reports, and understanding of scientific methodology and scientific documentation practicesEffective collaboration in a multidisciplinary research teamFluency in English is a mustBenefits22 local labor days + 5 extra ones for Vacations!
