Position Overview:

Aamikza Biotechnology Pvt. Ltd. is looking for a proactive and dedicated Junior Fermentation Scientist to join our R&D division, focusing on the development of dairy starter cultures. This role is ideal for recent graduates or early-career professionals with hands-on experience in microbial fermentation, especially with lactic acid bacteria (LAB). You will be involved in both lab-scale and pilot-scale fermentation operations, contributing to process development, optimization, and scale-up.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, set up, and execute fermentation experiments using lactic acid bacteria for dairy applications.
• Operate, monitor, and maintain laboratory-scale and pilot-scale fermenters with control over parameters like pH, temperature, agitation, and aeration.
• Support upstream fermentation processes including media preparation, inoculum development, and sterilization protocols.
• Assist in the scale-up of fermentation processes from bench-top reactors to pilot fermenters, ensuring reproducibility and performance.
• Perform troubleshooting and optimization of fermentation conditions to improve yield, viability, and acidification performance of cultures.
• Maintain detailed experimental records, logbooks, and prepare reports and presentations.
• Collaborate with downstream, QA/QC, and analytical teams to support end-to-end starter culture development.
• Follow and enforce aseptic techniques and safety standards in all fermentation-related operations.

Qualifications:

• B.Tech, M.Tech, or M.Sc. in Microbiology, Dairy Technology, Food Technology, Biotechnology, or Biochemical Engineering.
• 1–2 years of hands-on experience in microbial fermentation (industry, research project, or internship). Freshers can be part of the selection process.
• Basic understanding of LAB physiology, dairy fermentation processes, and microbial scale-up.
• Familiarity with fermenters/bioreactors (lab and pilot scale) and experience in setting up and cleaning CIP/SIP systems is an advantage.
• Good working knowledge of fermentation monitoring instruments (pH, DO, temperature probes, etc.).

Preferred Skills:

• Strong documentation and data analysis skills.
• Good interpersonal and communication abilities.
• Eagerness to learn, work in a team, and contribute to process improvements.
• Attention to detail and commitment to quality in microbiological work.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Mentorship and training by experienced fermentation scientists.
• Opportunity to work on real-world fermentation scale-up projects.
• Access to modern lab and pilot-scale fermentation infrastructure.
• A growth-driven, collaborative, and science-focused work culture.
