Job description

About Bobbie

Bobbie makes European-style organic infant formula manufactured end-to-end in the U.S., because we believe every parent deserves to feed their baby with confidence, without judgment and without compromise. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just clean, thoughtfully made formula that parents can trust.

But Bobbie has never been just a formula company. When the 2022 national infant formula shortage left parents across the country unable to feed their babies, we closed our storefront to new customers rather than leave a single existing family without formula. We went to Washington. We got loud. And we opened our Heath, Ohio manufacturing facility to make sure something like that could never happen again.

That's who we are, and that's what you'd be joining.

Bobbie for Change

Our advocacy arm, Bobbie for Change, exists because making great formula isn't enough if the systems around parenthood are still broken. We fight for paid federal parental leave, push for legislation to prevent future formula shortages, advocate for feeding equity, and support families navigating impossible situations, including donating formula to parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers through the Bobbie Breasties program.

We're a company that genuinely believes becoming a parent makes you an activist. The people who work here feel that too.

The Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated self-starter to join our team based out of our facility in Heath, OH as a Quality Assurance Technician. In this role the QA Technician will support in-process testing of liquid mix, bulk powder, and finished infant and toddler formula. This person will be responsible for sampling raw materials, testing liquid mix for pH and total solids, performing physical stability testing on bulk powder, testing the powder once canned and shipping samples to the appropriate testing lab. The QA Technician will also support keeping all labs clean, organized and stocked with needed supplies.

Hours:

11:00pm - 7:30am

What you will accomplish:

• Ensure the laboratories are clean and well-organized at all times.
• Conduct physical stability testing (e.g., bulk density, pH, moisture, undissolved particles etc.) on bulk powder.
• Conduct final testing on finished goods (e.g., headspace oxygen, leaker testing, fill weight verification).
• Sample incoming raw materials and entering data into the system to support release.
• Place raw material, bulk powder and finished goods on hold as directed by Quality Management.

What we would like you to have:

• Basic knowledge of current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP's) and Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP's) required.
• Degree and background in Microbiology, Chemistry or Food Science preferred.
• Experience in an FDA regulated environment preferred.
• Must be highly adaptable to changes in manufacturing.
• Experience with DEACOM, Sartorius, CEM preferred.

You’re inspired by our core values:

• Be Radical - We are change makers, rule breakers and stigma shakers. We are unapologetically bold and use our megaphone for good.
• Nurture the Tension - Parenthood is full of healthy tension, and so is building a company. We embrace the unknowns, practice humility and are a culture of learners.
• Deliver Ounce by Ounce - Our customers have entrusted us to feed their babies. We lose sleep over the details, so they don’t have to.
• Don’t Assume - We embrace our unique perspectives, withhold judgment, and find beauty in the paths that brought us all to Bobbie. Our strength is celebrating each other and our collective voice.
