By harnessing the power of microorganisms, we create nutritious proteins that can be made anywhere, helping solve one of humanity’s biggest challenges: feeding a growing world sustainably.\nWe’re 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.\nIn this hands-on role, you’ll 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, you'll play a key role in bringing our bioprocesses into the digital future.\nWhat you’ll be doing:\nConnect 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.\n\nMake data flow: Connect equipment, sensors, and systems (such as bioreactors, scales, and gas analyzers) to enable reliable, real-time data collection and integration.\n\nTurn data into insights: Develop automated calculations, reporting tools, data pipelines, and dashboards using Python, SQL, Power BI, or similar tools.\n\nBuild smarter processes: Bridge the gap between bioprocess engineering, instrumentation, data engineering, and automation to improve how we capture, manage, and use process data.\n\nShape 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.\n\nBring processes to life digitally: Work towards developing digital twin capabilities, kinetic models, and process simulations to improve fermentation process understanding, optimization, and scale-up.\n\nCollaborate across disciplines: Work closely with engineers, scientists, equipment vendors, and internal teams to define integration requirements and build practical, scalable solutions.\n\nWhat you bring:\nA degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Data Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, or a related field.\n\nStrong programming skills, particularly in Python and SQL, with experience in data processing, automation, and reporting.\n\nExperience with version-controlled development using GitHub.\n\nUnderstanding of industrial sensors, instrumentation, communication protocols (such as OPC UA and Modbus), and equipment integration.\n\nFamiliarity with dashboard development, data visualization, and user-friendly interfaces.\n\nA structured, proactive mindset and the ability to turn complex technical challenges into practical solutions.\n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to connect people and ideas across engineering, biology, and data.\n\nA hands-on attitude - you're just as comfortable working with hardware on-site as you are writing code.\n\nCuriosity, adaptability, and the motivation to build solutions in a fast-moving, evolving environment.\n\nBonus points for:\nHands-on experience in an industrial or pilot-scale bioprocess environment.\n\nKnowledge of bioprocess calculations, fermentation processes, and process performance indicators.\n\nFamiliarity with digital twin concepts, kinetic modelling, or process simulation tools.\n\nExperience using AI tools to accelerate development and improve workflows.\n\nExperience working in startups or scale-ups, where building systems from scratch is part of the adventure.\n\nAt MicroHarvest, you’ll be part of a fast-moving team where bold science meets hands-on action and real results. We offer:\nA high-impact role in a purpose-driven company changing the future of food.\n\nA collaborative, international team that celebrates curiosity and learning.\n\nFreedom to shape digital tools, processes, and systems - and see your solutions make a real difference.\n\nThe opportunity to work at the intersection of biotechnology, engineering, and digital innovation, helping shape how we scale our technology.\n\nHere, your work doesn't just connect data. It connects science, technology, and the future of sustainable food production.\nReady to turn data into impact? Send us your CV - we'd love to meet you.\nAt MicroHarvest, we value diversity and as such we do not discriminate based on race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, marital status, or based on an individual’s status in any group or class protected by applicable laws.
