As an R&D Scientist at Sun Nutraceuticals, you will drive the formulation and development of dietary supplements across gummies, liquids, powders, and encapsulated products, with a focus on botanicals and functional ingredients. You will create product samples for client approval, develop appealing flavor profiles, conduct research to innovate delivery systems and optimize processes, and assist with regulatory compliance. This role offers the opportunity to innovate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment within a small, agile team. Key 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 or Master’s degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related field. Experience: 3–5 years of experience in dietary supplement, nutraceutical, or food product development, preferably with gummies, liquids, powders, or encapsulated products. Proven track record in formulation, flavor development, and sample creation. Familiarity with botanicals (e.g., cannabinoids, kratom, kava, mushrooms) and bitterness-masking techniques are a plus, but not required. Skills: Strong formulation and flavor development expertise for dietary supplements, including botanical-based products. Knowledge of delivery systems (e.g., solubility enhancement) and production processes for diverse product forms. Understanding of FDA regulations, cGMP, and NSF standards for dietary supplements, particularly for alternative botanicals. Ability to conduct independent R&D and troubleshoot formulation or process challenges. Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working with clients and a small team. Preferred: Experience with pectin-based gummies, liquid emulsions, powder blends, or encapsulation techniques. Experience with HPLC analysis of raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products to quantify and qualify ingredients. Hands-on experience with regulatory documentation or label compliance for dietary supplements.
