Our first product? Yummy chocolate We created the world’s first 100% cocoa-free chocolate called Nocoa. Our Nocoa tastes amazing with a solid snap and smooth melt as well as roasty notes and a subtle sweetness. In addition it is completely natural, gluten-free, vegan and made with only seven ingredients. Nocoa doesn’t only deliver on taste and naturalness. It is also kind to the planet with a breathtaking low carbon and water footprint, plus a complete mitigation of deforestation and child slavery

On our journey to protect our Planet A, we are looking for a motivated Process Intern who supports us in our endeavor to develop a cocoa butter alternative.

- Contribute to the operation and maintenance of chemostat bioreactor systems and other essential laboratory equipment.
- Collaborate in designing and executing experiments focused on lipid extraction processes, which may involve exploring different separation techniques and equipment setups.
- Conduct experiments, collect samples, and perform analytical tests to monitor and evaluate process performance.
- Perform data analysis and interpretation to identify trends, optimize process parameters, and troubleshoot issues.
- Support process scale-up and DSP activities, including technology transfer and process validation.
- Assist in the development of novel strategies and technologies to enhance process efficiency and productivity.
- Maintain accurate laboratory records, prepare reports, and present findings to the team.

**Your profile**:

- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Bioprocess Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or a related field. **This position is specifically designed for mandatory internships as part of the applicant's current curriculum.** The internship is expected to be pursued for a minimum duration of 4 months, in line with the academic requirements. Please note that we can only consider applicants who meet this mandatory internship criterion.
- Strong interest and passion for industrial biotechnology and downstream processing.
- Knowledge of basic principles and concepts of fermentation and/or process engineering.
- Experience with lipid extraction techniques (e.g., solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, membrane separation) is appreciated.
- A strong familiarity with bioreactor systems, fermentation processes, sample collection and analysis, and commonly used laboratory equipment in downstream processing is highly advantageous.
- Basic understanding of process optimization principles and statistical analysis techniques with data analysis software (e.g., Excel, MATLAB, Python) is a plus.
- Attention to detail and ability to follow experimental protocols.
- Good analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively as part of a team.
- Proficiency in the English language, including written and verbal communication skills.

(Please note we are currently only looking for applicants that already have a work visa/permission to work in Germany, or of course, EU citizenship and we only hire interns that need to make a mandatory internship for university)
