Collaborate across departments to identify opportunities for process improvements, solve technical challenges, and ensure alignment with business goals.
Participate in die and manifold design, applying or learning CAD tools.
Analyze processing data using advanced modeling and simulation tools to establish specifications and guide team decision-making.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives and support organizational change management, ensuring all stakeholders are engaged and informed throughout transitions. Manage capital projects including equipment installation, layout planning, and vendor coordination, while leading project teams and maintaining collaborative vendor relationships.
Lead Design of Experiments (DOE) efforts, encouraging creative problem-solving and cross functional contributions to system and process enhancements.
Operate independently and efficiently, managing projects with minimal supervision, while promoting an inclusive and cooperative team environment, including up to 30% seasonal travel as needed.
Engage in structured development to build SME‑level capability over the next five years, including extended learning.

What we are looking for:

Minimum Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Food Science, Food Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of experience in food and/or pet food manufacturing.
Hands-on experience with food extrusion and process optimization.
Experience leading pilot plant, scale-up, and commercialization trials.
Knowledge of ingredient functionality, food safety, and process validation.
Experience using DOE and statistical tools (JMP, Minitab, Aspen, etc.) to improve process performance.
Proven success leading cross-functional projects and driving technical solutions.

Additional skills and experience that we think would make someone successful in this role:

Experience in pet food, pet treats, animal nutrition, snacks, or cereal extrusion.
Expertise in extrusion processing, including formulation, process settings, die design, and product quality optimization.
