Food Technologist / Scientist Intern

Company: Orizin

Location: Patna, Bihar

Work mode: On-site

Duration: 3 months

Role type: Internship

Experience: Students / Freshers / 0 to 2 years

Orizin is an early-stage clean-label functional food company built around one simple belief:

Truth on the label.

We are building food products that are nutritionally meaningful, simple in their ingredients and honest in their communication.

We are currently developing our first product and are looking for a Food Technologist / Food Scientist Intern who wants to be part of that journey from the very beginning.

This is a hands-on product development internship.

You will work closely with the founders and our food industry mentor, who brings 15+ years of experience, to take a product from an early idea towards a commercially viable formulation.

You won't just be reading about food product development.

You will be experimenting, formulating, testing and learning through actual product development.

• Develop and test food product formulations
• Research ingredients and their functional properties
• Conduct formulation trials and maintain detailed records
• Evaluate taste, texture, solubility, mouthfeel and overall product experience
• Work on ingredient combinations and ratios
• Help identify suitable raw materials and suppliers
• Assist with basic stability and shelf-life studies
• Support nutritional and technical evaluation of formulations
• Understand food safety, quality and regulatory requirements
• Document experiments, results and learnings
• Improve formulations based on testing and feedback
• Help move the product from prototype towards a production-ready formulation
  

You could be a good fit if you:

• Are pursuing or have completed a degree in Food Technology, Food Science, Dairy Technology, Nutrition, Biotechnology or a related field
• Have a genuine interest in food product development
• Enjoy experimenting and solving formulation problems
• Understand basic food ingredients and their functionality
• Are detail-oriented and comfortable maintaining experiment records
• Are curious and willing to learn
• Can work hands-on and independently
• Are comfortable with trial and error
• Want to understand how a food product goes from an idea to something people can actually buy

Freshers are welcome to apply.

We care more about your curiosity, fundamentals and willingness to learn than years of experience.

You will get exposure to the complete product development process:

Concept → Ingredient Research → Formulation → Trials → Sensory Testing → Refinement → Validation → Commercialisation

You will also work closely with an experienced food industry mentor with 15+ years of experience and get a practical understanding of how food products are developed beyond the classroom.

Duration: 3 months

Location: Patna, Bihar

Work mode: On-site

Stipend: Open for discussion based on the candidate's profile and experience

We are also open to the possibility of offering a full-time opportunity after the internship based on performance, mutual fit and the company's requirements.

Orizin is still at the beginning.

There is no established formulation sitting in a lab waiting to be executed. You will be involved while the product is actually being figured out.

Your experiments could directly influence what eventually becomes Orizin's first product.

You will work closely with the founders and get exposure to both sides of the process:

Food science + building a food company.

What interests you most about developing food products, and what is one food product you would love to improve or reinvent

We are looking for someone who is excited to get hands-on, run experiments, learn from failures and help us build something from scratch.
