What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Full Time Remote Food Scientist, and why are they important?

To excel as a Full Time Remote Food Scientist, you need a solid background in food science, chemistry, and product development, typically supported by a degree in food science or a related field. Familiarity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), data analysis software, and regulatory compliance tools is commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective virtual communication are essential soft skills for remote collaboration and innovation. These skills ensure that you can develop safe, high-quality food products efficiently while working independently in a remote environment.

What are some typical challenges faced by food scientists working full-time in a remote setting?

Food scientists working remotely often encounter challenges related to hands-on experimentation and collaboration with laboratory teams. Since many aspects of food science involve physical product testing and quality control, coordinating lab work and accessing specialized equipment can be more complex from a distance. To overcome these hurdles, remote food scientists frequently rely on digital collaboration tools, detailed documentation, and close communication with on-site colleagues. Staying proactive and engaged with the team is essential for ensuring project timelines and maintaining product quality standards.

What is a full time remote food science job?

A full time remote food science job involves working in the field of food science—such as research, product development, quality control, or regulatory compliance—while performing all work duties from a remote location, typically from home. These roles require strong communication and collaboration skills, as most interaction with teams or clients is done virtually. Common responsibilities may include analyzing food ingredients, developing new products, ensuring food safety standards, conducting experiments, and preparing reports. Many employers use digital tools and platforms to facilitate remote teamwork and project management. Full time remote positions offer flexibility but also require self-motivation and excellent organizational skills.

We are seeking a Food Scientist - Quality Assurance to join our growing Food Safety and Quality Team under our Product Excellence Pillar.

  • Coordinate and execute tasks and projects with our co-manufacturing partners related to quality improvement and food safety.
  • Collaborate with co-mans to investigate quality-related customer/consumer complaints, adverse sensory trends, and non-conformance issues. This will require travel to co-man facilities to observe production procedures.
  • Compile and analyze data and reports (quality, production, process) to identify areas for improvement in both internal and co-man quality systems.
  • Utilize quality trending and a strong knowledge of cottage cheese manufacturing to assist internal and external co-man teams in troubleshooting production and performance issues.
  • Partner closely with co-man resources to optimize current practices and reduce non-conformance incidents.
  • Support technical service and commercialization activities at co-manufacturing facilities in partnership with the Good Culture Operations and Product Development teams.
  • Help lead Good Culture's internal sensory programs.
  • Help implement our mission and ensure your work has a positive impact on our environmental and social responsibilities.
  • Leverage opportunities to highlight Good Culture's mission and impact to inspire others to join us in doing good.

  • 4+ years of R&D, Tech Services, and/or FSQA experience in a food manufacturing environment required.
  • Experience with cottage cheese or other dairy product manufacturing required (PMO Grade A and cultured dairy production knowledge is a plus).
  • Certifications preferred but not required, including HACCP, Process Control, Continuous Improvement/Six Sigma, etc. (must be willing to become certified).
  • Experience with root cause investigations and developing and implementing preventive and corrective actions.
  • Experience with dairy sensory and/or dairy analytics labs is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to influence at all levels of internal and external organizations.
  • Ability to work independently and autonomously, while also knowing when to reach out for support.
  • Ability to build relationships with co-man teams and other internal functions.
  • Ability to experiment, assess risk, and make data-based recommendations and decisions.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Computer proficiency, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; statistical knowledge and its application are a bonus.

This is a remote role based near a major airport, with preference given to candidates located in the Upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Upstate New York). The position will require approximately 50% travel, primarily within the Midwest, to educate our co-manufacturers on our Gold Standard and troubleshoot adverse quality trends at co-manufacturing sites.
ABOUT GOOD CULTURE:

That's why we decided to create a food company that offers real organic ingredients from trusted sources, promotes good health and tastes great. Our mission is to reinvent the food system, from the (actual) ground up. We are a cultured dairy company that currently makes the best cottage cheese, probiotic rich sour cream, and cream cheese. We're on the lookout for some cultured healers!
