Food Production Associate

About Demolish Foods

We’re reinventing meat for a planet-positive future. Our Gen4 precision-structuring platform is the first in the world to recreate all perceptible components of meat. It recreates the muscle fibres, connective tissue and fat of whole-cut chicken entirely from plants. Backed by investors with deep manufacturing and food technology expertise, we’ve commissioned our pilot line in Bangalore and are scaling rapidly toward first commercial launches. Every kilogram of Demolish meat saves water, land and carbon while keeping animals out of the equation. If you’re excited to push the boundaries of engineering and scale solutions that matter, join us and help make food systems kinder, healthier and more sustainable.

Role Overview

We are looking for energetic individuals to join our team of passionate engineers, builders and creators to tackle the challenges of building a more sustainable food system. Our team comprises highly capable yet humble graduates and PhDs from prestigious institutions such as IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, TIFR, IISc, and Stanford University.

As a Production Associate, you'll work in a critical team under a Food Production Manager, running small-scale production, providing feedback to R&D, and contributing to pilot line efficiency. Your contributions will be vital for improving pilot production and scaling to full production.

This is a unique opportunity, especially for fresh grads, to work at the intersection of food science, mechanical systems, and deep-tech innovation, scaling advanced food technologies and potentially charting a career path within our engineering / R&D team.

Responsibilities

• As part of the production team, ensure efficient and safe operation of all equipment.
• Handle end-to-end food processing operations, ensuring adherence to SOPs, product specifications, and full traceability throughout.
• Monitor process variables such as heat, pressure, and flow. M ake in-spec adjustments and escalate out-of-spec conditions.
• Follow production schedules. C oordinate with upstream / downstream stations to keep flow.
• Sample and perform in-process checks (weights, moisture / solids, temperature, texture) and record results in batch logs.
• Observe, document, and report production behavior, providing structured feedback to the production and R&D teams.
• Support troubleshooting by identifying root causes (materials, method, machine, manpower, measurement) and implement fixes.
• Contribute to R&D - process development and pilot-scale innovation over time.
• Sanitation & hygiene - perform pre-op checks, end-of-shift cleaning, and CIP / COP per SOPs.
• Quality & food safety - follow GMPs / HACCP, prevent cross-contamination and foreign-matter risks; use and store chemicals correctly.
