Be a Catalyst for Innovation at AgBiTech

Are you a curious, hands-on scientist with interests in Entomology and Ecology, who loves digging into data but also sees the big picture? Do you thrive on improving systems, mentoring others, and being part of something that makes a real impact? If so, AgBiTech invites you to bring your talents to our team as a Manufacturing Scientist.

We’re a global leader in sustainable pest control, and we’re looking for someone who not only understands science but also knows how to apply it to improve processes, boost productivity, and help drive our mission forward. If you’ve ever worked with insects—or have always wanted to—you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Do

In this role, you’ll be at the center of our efforts to raise the bar in Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) production. You’ll combine lab-based research with strategic process thinking to improve our Insectary and Production Operations. You’ll lead research experiments, guide team members, and help shape how we grow, produce, and deliver world-class biological products.

• Lead Research & Innovation: Design and conduct experiments to optimize production workflows and insect health.

• Drive Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve quality, consistency, and efficiency in our operations.

• Analyze & Report: Interpret data, write detailed research reports, and communicate findings to cross-functional teams.

• Mentor & Collaborate: Train and guide lab assistants and technicians while working closely with QA/QC and production teams.

• Think Strategically: Look beyond the science—understand the “why” behind what we do and how your work impacts farmers and food systems globally.

What You Bring

• Education & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Biology or a related field required

  • 4+ years of relevant experience

  • Master’s or PhD is a plus

  • Experience working with insects or biological systems preferred 

  • Experience with R statistical language preferred

Working at AgBiTech

Here, your work matters. You won’t just be doing experiments—you’ll be helping build a more sustainable future for agriculture. We offer a collaborative team culture and the chance to be part of a mission that impacts food production on a global scale.

Bonus: If you’re someone who’s fascinated by insects and enjoys the careful, precise work of scientific discovery, this is your chance to turn that passion into purpose.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 30 lbs

• Fine motor skills for precision tasks

• Visual focus for microscopy and data analysis
