  • Understanding of ingredient levers that influence pasta texture, firmness, and quality, including traditional and alternative formulations.
  • Experience troubleshooting texture-related challenges such as softness, overcooking, loss of firmness, or processing variability.
  • Familiarity with standard and high-protein pasta varieties and their unique formulation considerations.
  • Experience supporting product development, scale-up, or manufacturing optimization for pasta-based products.

Qualifications

  • Current or recent experience in food product development, pasta manufacturing, or food processing.
  • Minimum of 3-5 years of relevant experience in pasta formulation, processing, or related food science applications.
  • Strong understanding of pasta quality attributes and factors influencing texture performance in thermally processed products.
  • Ability to provide technical insights and recommendations for improving pasta formulation and processing outcomes.
