Job Summary ■ About Us Symbiobe Inc. is a bio-startup originating from Kyoto University (established in 2021) that aims to build a new resource recycling system by utilizing the power of microorganisms to transform underutilized resources in local areas into resources that can be used for industrial purposes. In societies like Japan, which rely heavily on imports for many resources, we aim to reduce dependence on external sources and build a more resilient supply structure by effectively utilizing underutilized resources within local areas. Our strength lies in our system of developing end-to-end processes, from basic research to establishing culture conditions, mass production, and application development, without any breaks. Currently, we are collaborating with multiple partner companies, including those in the energy and materials sectors, and are actively moving from research to social implementation, conducting demonstrations of culture and manufacturing in bench plants and verifying in real-world environments in fields such as livestock, fisheries, and food. ■ Recruitment Background As our business enters a scaling-up phase, we need personnel who can address the highly uncertain "challenges unique to the implementation phase," such as reproducibility of conditions, process stabilization, and cost-effectiveness. At our company, you can be deeply involved in both "production technologies that are currently being established" and "basic research that will be expanded in the future." We are looking for individuals who find fulfillment in the process of delivering technology to society while repeatedly testing hypotheses. *You will be involved in research, including functional evaluation and application development, as well as scale-up and implementation phases. *You will advance development in collaboration with one of the following areas: research, production, or quality. ■Attractiveness of the Position *Development environment that allows you to see the entire process: You can take a deep approach to your assigned area while keeping in mind the overall picture of the technology necessary for bio-manufacturing, including research and development, production technology development, and application development. *Diverse experience opportunities based on initiative and motivation: Depending on your strong initiative and motivation, you can challenge various tasks and issues without being bound by existing frameworks, and dramatically broaden your experience and skill set. *Flat collaboration that transcends specialized fields: You will be close to members with different expertise, such as the technology development manager, as well as members with different specialties in research and manufacturing, and you can advance development seamlessly through close discussions. • Co-creation with large corporations: You can work on large-scale projects in collaboration with our partner companies.
