REPORTS TO

VP of R&D

LEVEL

Laboratory Technician / R&D Technician

TARGET START

Q3 2026

ROLE SUMMARY

The Laboratory Technician / R&D Technician supports formulation development, blend execution, sample preparation, process documentation, and daily laboratory operations within a fast-paced gummy and functional nutrition environment. This role is hands-on and central to keeping our R&D bench moving.

We are a lean, fast-growing contract gummy manufacturer entering our second year of operation and scaling quickly. This is a ground-floor opportunity to take ownership of daily lab responsibilities, build scalable systems and processes, and grow your technical expertise as the company grows.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, technically capable self-starter with a strong work ethic and a positive, solution-oriented attitude. You should be comfortable balancing innovation, quality, and throughput, and ready to ramp independently in a role with no overlap from the outgoing technician.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Formulation & Blend Execution

■ Execute the daily blend schedule with a target of 3 to 5 blends per day

■ Prepare bench-top, pilot, and scale-up gummy formulations

■ Accurately weigh, batch, and process ingredients according to formulation requirements

■ Support development of functional gummies including vitamin, mineral, protein, fiber, creatine, probiotic, and specialty formulations

■ Troubleshoot formulation and process inconsistencies

■ Maintain urgency and efficiency while ensuring high-quality sample execution

Laboratory Operations

■ Maintain an organized laboratory workspace and equipment

■ Support cleaning, sanitation, and workflow turnover activities

■ Operate laboratory and pilot-scale processing equipment safely and efficiently

■ Assist in workflow optimization and operational efficiency initiatives

■ Support implementation of automation and process improvement projects

■ Help build scalable systems and workflows to support company growth

Documentation & Quality Systems

■ Maintain accurate batch records, formulation notes, and process documentation

■ Support QA initiatives including deviation tracking and documentation review

■ Assist in development and refinement of reporting standards and data tracking systems

■ Ensure compliance with SOPs, cGMP practices, and internal quality standards

Inventory & Material Management

■ Manage inventory of raw materials, packaging components, and lab consumables

■ Monitor ingredient levels and proactively communicate reordering needs

■ Stage materials and organize ingredients to support efficient daily production flow

Collaboration & Commercial Support

■ Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, QA, operations, and commercial teams

■ Participate in customer sample preparation and innovation projects

■ Support handoff to Quality after successful benchwork and customer sample acceptance

■ Contribute positively to a high-growth, team-oriented culture

REQUIREMENTS

Must-Have Skills

■ Strong organizational and multitasking capability

■ Strong mathematical and analytical skills

■ Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities (this role ramps solo, with no overlap from the outgoing technician)

■ Positive, proactive, and solution-oriented mindset

■ Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving environment

Education and Experience

■ Bachelor's degree in a related scientific field required

■ Master's degree in Food Science (OR)

■ Bachelor's degree plus 2 or more years of relevant experience may substitute for the preferred Master's

NICE-TO-HAVES

■ 2 or more years of experience in formulation, food manufacturing, nutraceutical, confectionery, or R&D laboratory roles

■ Experience with gummy, confectionery, or nutraceutical manufacturing

■ Familiarity with pH, Brix, water activity, and ingredient functionality

■ Experience working within cGMP or regulated manufacturing environments

■ Understanding of hydrocolloids, gelatin, pectin, fibers, proteins, and active ingredients

■ Experience with inventory management and process documentation systems

■ Comfort with Monday.com or similar workflow and data tracking tools
