Job Description

At Sensient Technologies, we are experts in the science, art and innovation of color and flavor. We are market-savvy and visionary. We are problem solvers. And we will be better with you.

We are looking for an Application Scientist to join our team and turn food science expertise into great-tasting solutions for our customers. You will work hands-on in the laboratory to develop and evaluate food applications. You will collaborate with flavor and color scientists to solve customer challenges and bring new ideas to life. You will also provide technical taste support and take part in customer workshops and sensory evaluations.

This is an onsite role in Sensient’s Food Colors laboratory in St. Louis, Missouri. You will work in the office five days per week. The role also includes quarterly travel to our Hoffman Estates, Illinois location and occasional travel to customer sites.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate with color laboratory scientists on flavor application and product development projects across sweet, beverage, and savory categories.
  • Provide technical expertise in masking unwanted flavor notes in finished food products and recommend appropriate flavor technologies for application projects.
  • Provide technical taste support to customers and participate in customer workshops at Sensient’s food color laboratories.
  • Conduct sensory evaluations and operate and interpret results from laboratory equipment, including densitometers, refractometers, and pH meters.
  • Prepare and document samples according to company procedures, complete projects efficiently, perform basic mathematical calculations and unit conversions, and support the technical team with additional activities as needed.

What you’ll bring

  • A bachelor’s degree in food science, biology, chemistry, or a related field.
  • At least five years of experience in a food applications laboratory, including hands-on flavor experience and knowledge across beverage, savory, and sweet food applications.
  • Working knowledge of food applications and a basic understanding of food processing.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and cross-functional teams.
  • Strong attention to detail and effective project and time management skills, with the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and occasionally lift up to twenty-five pounds.

What you’ll get

  • The opportunity to apply your technical expertise to real customer and product development challenges.
  • A collaborative environment where you will work closely with flavor and color scientists and other technical professionals.
  • Hands-on experience across a broad range of food and beverage applications.
  • Opportunities to interact directly with customers through technical support, workshops, and occasional customer visits.
  • A role that combines laboratory science, sensory evaluation, product development, and customer collaboration.
  • Initial onboarding and training at Sensient’s Hoffman Estates location and St. Louis laboratory, followed by quarterly travel to Hoffman Estates.
  • Occasional travel to customer locations alongside sales and technical team members.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
