Full Job Description

At CJ Schwan's, we don't just make food — we help create moments that matter. From kids devouring pizza after soccer practice, to students laughing over dumplings in a cafeteria, to families enjoying pie during the holidays, our team members play an important role in bringing those everyday moments to life. Our portfolio includes iconic pizzas, global flavors and timeless desserts from brands like Red Baron®, bibigo®, Tony's®, Big Daddy's®, Freschetta®, Pagoda®, Edwards® and Mrs. Smith's®. Enjoyed in homes, schools, restaurants and just about everywhere people shop and eat, our products reflect a commitment to quality, innovation and the power of food to bring people together.

Provide technical leadership and solutions for ingredient, formulation, processing, and production challenges to support efficient manufacturing operations.

Develop and validate new product formulations, processing methods, and specifications to support innovation, renovation, and commercialization initiatives.

Plan and execute pilot and plant trials, analyze results, and establish scalable processes and specifications for production.

Lead cross-functional teams to successfully implement product launches and ingredient, formula, process, or specification changes.

Evaluate ingredients, suppliers, and processing technologies to improve product performance, optimize costs, and drive continuous improvement.

Create and maintain technical documentation, specifications, and project updates, ensuring clear communication of progress, risks, and outcomes.

Generate and advance new product concepts through research, experimentation, and collaboration to support innovation and business growth.

What We Look For:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Food Science, Meat Science, Cereal Science, Dairy Science, Nutrition, Biological Sciences, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and product development experience.

8+ years of food product development experience, with expertise in food ingredients, chemistry, processing, and functionality.

Strong knowledge of frozen food product development, including trend, regulatory, formulation, scale-up, manufacturing, bench-top testing, and plant trials.

Proven ability to analyze data, solve complex technical problems, and implement practical solutions.

Willingness and ability to taste and evaluate food products throughout the development process.

Demonstrated curiosity, an innovation mindset, and a passion for solving complex technical challenges while collaborating effectively across functions.

Experience with SAP PLM and Microsoft app is preferred.

What We Offer:
