  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to modulate complexity depending on audience (technical teams, business partners, leadership).
  • Ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams and present technical findings clearly.
  • Willingness and ability to taste and objectively evaluate bakery products (bread, buns, rolls, tortillas, etc.).
  • Flexibility to work variable hours to support plant trials (early mornings, extended shifts as needed).
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity while maintaining progress on technical deliverables.
