(“Clean Crop”) stops crop loss at the source, removing pathogens from seeds before they are planted, increasing yields, reducing in-field waste, and improving food safety. Clean Crop’s Clean Current technology combines electricity and food-grade gases to create cold plasma, inactivating a broad spectrum of contaminants from seed surfaces in a dry, automated, and residue-free process. We are building a dynamic team of engineers and technicians, administrators, and scientists with a passion for innovation, experimentation, pushing the envelope of what's possible, and a hunger to work at an agile start-up. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk! \nAbout Clean Crop\nClean Crop Technologies builds domestic supply chains for specialty crops. We work with growers from seed through processing to deliver food-grade products to buyers who have historically relied on imports. Our first crop, mung beans, is in commercial production, and we are expanding into additional pulses and grains.\nOur commercial processing operation runs at a partner mill campus in Hennessey, Oklahoma, where we receive, clean, sort, grade and store products alongside our operating partner. Our R&D and pilot operations are in Holyoke, Massachusetts. We are a venture-backed company.\nAbout This Role\nWe are looking for a Process Engineer to own the technical performance of our mung bean processing line in Hennessey. You will set and calibrate the cleaning, optical sorting and gravity equipment to each customer specification, trace yield loss and grading defects back to their cause, and run the trials that correct them. You will keep the equipment reliable through preventive maintenance and small capital projects, and design how each new pulse and grain will run on the line as we expand. You will work on site alongside our Production Manager, our QA Manager and customer partners. You will also work closely with our Product team in Massachusetts.\nWhat you can expect from this opportunity:\n\nProcess Ownership\nOwn the facility layout and equipment performance\nSet, document and maintain equipment settings for each crop and customer specification, and adjust them as incoming lots vary\nTrack yield, throughput, OEE and downtime, find the causes of loss, and run the trials that improve them\nTroubleshoot off-spec product with the QA Manager, trace the cause back through the process, and put the fix in place\nWrite and keep current the SOPs, work instructions and process documentation the floor team runs from\nEquipment and Reliability\nBuild and run the preventive maintenance program for the Hennessey equipment, and manage spare parts and service vendors\nDiagnose mechanical, electrical and controls issues on sorters, augers, elevators, bins and conveyors, and fix them or direct the fix\nScope, justify and manage small capital projects, from equipment selection through installation and commissioning\nBring new crops onto the line: define the process, identify equipment changes and run first production lots\nWorkflow design and documentation- manage how product will move through the facility\nFacilities management- install new unit ops and vendor/contractor management \nFood Safety and Site Operations\nSupport SQF certification and ongoing compliance, including sanitation, traceability and audit readiness\nLead equipment-related safety practices on site, including lockout/tagout, guarding and dust control\nWork with our operating partner at the mill on shared equipment, utilities and site improvements, including the technical scope for any changes\nBuild and sustain a 5S program across the processing line and storage areas, with visual standards and regular audits that keep equipment accessible, reduce changeover time between crops and support SQF readiness\nWe'd love to hear from you if:\nYou have 4+ years as a process, manufacturing or plant engineer in food, grain, seed, feed or another bulk solids operation\nYou have hands-on experience with cleaning, sorting, milling or material handling equipment, and are comfortable working on the floor\nYou use data to improve a process: you have tracked yield, throughput or OEE and can point to a change you made that moved it\nYou can read mechanical and electrical drawings and troubleshoot equipment and basic controls\nYou write clear SOPs and can train a floor team to follow them\nYou have a degree in chemical, agricultural, biological, food or mechanical engineering, or equivalent experience through a technical program and time on the plant floor\nYou do well on a small team where you will often be the person who figures it out, and you know when to call a vendor or a peer who has solved it before\nYou are willing to relocate to, or already live within commuting distance of, Hennessey, Oklahoma\nNot required, but we'd be thrilled to see:\nExperience processing pulses, specialty grains or seed (mung beans, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa or similar)\nOptical sorter setup and calibration (Bühler, Satake, TOMRA, Key Technology or similar)\nSQF, BRCGS or other GFSI food safety program experience\nCommissioning a new line or facility\nPLC or HMI experience\nWhy you should consider us:\nYou will own the process at our main commercial site, with direct influence on how it runs and where we invest\nYou will bring new crops onto the line as the company grows, so the role keeps expanding\nYou will work with a small, hands-on team that values solving the customer's problem over using a particular technology\nYou will have ownership, autonomy and equity participation in an early-stage company\nCompensation and Benefits:\nOur salary range for this role is $85,000 to $110,000 annually, based on experience, with early-stage equity participation.
