Description
This role builds scientific foundations to explain, optimize and predict product, machine and packaging system performance in a beverage R&D environment.
Tasks
- Formulate hypotheses linking product, machine and packaging design choices with beverage performance
- Design experiments on flow, pressure, mass transfer, extraction, dissolution and foam generation
- Build predictive, physics-based models explaining system behaviour
- Identify performance drivers, variability and knowledge gaps to improve robustness
- Create reusable scientific knowledge for future research and product development
- Translate scientific findings into recommendations for technical integration and validation
Profile
- Strong knowledge of physical chemistry, applied physics, mechanical engineering or related scientific field
- Experience applying predictive modelling to explain and anticipate system behaviour
- Expertise in transport phenomena, fluid systems, experimentation and packaging
- Ability to connect fundamental science with system design questions
- Fluent English communication skills, able to translate complex concepts clearly
