About Demolish Industries 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.

Our team includes highly capable graduates and PhDs from prestigious institutions such as IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, TIFR, IISc, and Stanford University. We need a Process / Production / Operations professional to lead our manufacturing, supervising small-scale production, optimising parameters, and coordinating with R&D. Your contributions will be vital for improving pilot production and scaling to full production. This rare opportunity offers a chance to work at the intersection of food science, mechanical systems, and deep-tech innovation, scaling one of the world's most advanced food technologies, with potential to grow into a role in our Engineering/R&D team. Responsibilities Supervise a production team of 4-5 members, ensuring efficient and safe operation of all equipment. Monitor process variables such as heat, pressure, and flow to ensure consistency and quality. Maintain production schedules, organise workflows, and ensure adherence to SOPs. Observe, document, and report production behaviour - providing structured feedback to the product and mechanical teams. Escalate issues promptly and coordinate with cross-functional teams to troubleshoot and improve production efficiency. Over time, contribute to R&D - process development and pilot-scale innovation. Attention to detail - crucial for ensuring accuracy in recipes, portioning, and quality checks. Physical stamina - the role can sometimes be physically demanding, requiring stamina and dexterity when dealing with food production machines and food products. Requirements Bachelor's degree in Food Technology, Engineering, or other STEM degrees. 6 months - 2 years of hands-on experience in managing production, process operations, or manufacturing (preferably in food, FMCG, or process industries). Excellent English communication skills - written and verbal. Organised, disciplined, and capable of leading small teams effectively. Ability to adapt real-time and make time-critical decisions Strong observational and analytical skills, with a mindset for continuous improvement. Eagerness to grow into a technical or operational or R&D leadership role over time. Why Join Us Be part of a category-defining company reshaping the future of sustainable protein. Work alongside some of the brightest minds in FoodTech, Engineering, and R&D. Opportunity to take ownership early, with a clear path toward leadership or technical specialisation. A culture that values curiosity, discipline, and impact.
