Job Description

As a Junior R&D Formulator at Sun Nutraceuticals, you will support the formulation and development of dietary supplements, with a primary focus on gummies and liquids, incorporating botanicals and functional ingredients. You will assist in creating product samples for client approval, contribute to developing appealing flavor profiles, participate in research to innovate delivery systems and optimize processes, and help with regulatory compliance. This entry-level role offers the opportunity to learn and grow in a fast-paced, collaborative environment within a small, agile team, ideal for those starting their career in nutraceutical product development.

Responsibilities:

  • Product Formulation : Design and develop gummies, liquids, powders, and encapsulated supplements, incorporating functional ingredients to meet nutritional and sensory goals.
  • Flavor Development : Create and refine flavor profiles to ensure consumer appeal, masking off-notes from functional ingredients using techniques like natural flavors or cyclodextrins.
  • Sample Production : Prepare lab-scale product samples for client review, iterating based on feedback to ensure formulations are scalable and meet expectations.
  • Research & Development : Conduct R&D to innovate new product concepts, enhance ingredient delivery, and streamline manufacturing processes to reduce costs as we scale.
  • Regulatory Compliance : Assist with ensuring formulations comply with FDA regulations, including ingredient safety, labeling, and documentation for claims.
  • Process Optimization : Experiment with production techniques to improve efficiency, such as optimizing gel strength and setting time with pectin or gelatin, to support cost-effective scaling.
  • Collaboration : Work closely with internal teams and clients to align product development with market needs and stringent regulatory requirements.

Requirements

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related field.

  • Experience:
    • 0-2 years of experience in dietary supplement, nutraceutical, or food product development, preferably with gummies or liquids (internships or academic projects count).
    • Basic exposure to formulation, flavor development, or sample creation is a plus.

  • Skills:
    • Foundational knowledge in formulation and flavor development for dietary supplements.
    • Basic understanding of production processes for gummies and liquids.
    • Awareness of FDA regulations, cGMP, and NSF standards for dietary supplements.
    • Ability to assist in R&D and troubleshoot basic formulation or process challenges under supervision.
    • Good communication and collaboration skills for working with clients and a small team.

  • Preferred:
    • Experience with pectin-based gummies or liquid emulsions through coursework or entry-level roles.
    • Familiarity with basic lab analysis techniques, such as HPLC, for raw materials and finished products.
    • Hands-on experience with regulatory documentation or label compliance for dietary supplements.

Benefits

  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)
