Bioprocess Data Engineer

At MicroHarvest were reinventing how the world produces protein fast sustainably and at scale. By harnessing the power of microorganisms we create nutritious proteins that can be made anywhere helping solve one of humanitys biggest challenges: feeding a growing world sustainably.

Were now looking for a Bioprocess Data Engineer to connect the dots between biotechnology engineering and data and help us build the digital backbone of our fermentation processes.

In this hands-on role youll turn complex process data into meaningful insights connect equipment and systems and develop smart solutions that make our operations more efficient reliable and scalable. From solving everyday data challenges to shaping our long-term digitalization strategy youll play a key role in bringing our bioprocesses into the digital future.

• Connect the dots: Structure and standardize process data across our pilot plant I&D activities and other locations creating a reliable foundation for data-driven decisions.

• Make data flow: Connect equipment sensors and systems (such as bioreactors scales and gas analyzers) to enable reliable real-time data collection and integration.

• Turn data into insights: Develop automated calculations reporting tools data pipelines and dashboards using Python SQL Power BI or similar tools.

• Build smarter processes: Bridge the gap between bioprocess engineering instrumentation data engineering and automation to improve how we capture manage and use process data.

• Shape our digital future: Help develop our long-term digitalization and automation roadmap using our pilot plant as a testing ground for solutions that can scale to future industrial operations.

• Bring processes to life digitally: Work towards developing digital twin capabilities kinetic models and process simulations to improve fermentation process understanding optimization and scale-up.

• Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with engineers scientists equipment vendors and internal teams to define integration requirements and build practical scalable solutions.

• A degree in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Data Engineering Chemical Engineering Bioprocess Engineering or a related field.

• Strong programming skills particularly in Python and SQL with experience in data processing automation and reporting.

• Experience with version-controlled development using GitHub.

• Understanding of industrial sensors instrumentation communication protocols (such as OPC UA and Modbus) and equipment integration.

• Familiarity with dashboard development data visualization and user-friendly interfaces.

• A structured proactive mindset and the ability to turn complex technical challenges into practical solutions.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to connect people and ideas across engineering biology and data.

• A hands-on attitude youre just as comfortable working with hardware on-site as you are writing code.

• Curiosity adaptability and the motivation to build solutions in a fast-moving evolving environment.

• Hands-on experience in an industrial or pilot-scale bioprocess environment.

• Knowledge of bioprocess calculations fermentation processes and process performance indicators.

• Familiarity with digital twin concepts kinetic modelling or process simulation tools.

• Experience using AI tools to accelerate development and improve workflows.

• Experience working in startups or scale-ups where building systems from scratch is part of the adventure.

At MicroHarvest youll be part of a fast-moving team where bold science meets hands-on action and real results. We offer:

• A high-impact role in a purpose-driven company changing the future of food.

• A collaborative international team that celebrates curiosity and learning.

• Freedom to shape digital tools processes and systems and see your solutions make a real difference.

• The opportunity to work at the intersection of biotechnology engineering and digital innovation helping shape how we scale our technology.

Here your work doesnt just connect data. It connects science technology and the future of sustainable food production.
