Formulation Scientist - Dietary Supplement
Pave Talent 4.5
Principal research scientist job in Winchester, KY
Our client is expanding beyond the CBD space into broader nutraceutical and dietary supplement categories. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Dietary Supplement Formulator to join our team.
This role is critical in supporting the sales team as they build out new business lines; you will be "building the plane while flying it." The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment with some "gray area," where they must act quickly to support urgent sales requests. You will not be siloed; unlike roles in large corporations, you will handle end-to-end responsibilities including sourcing and costing, as there is no separate procurement team for these tasks.
Key Responsibilities
Rapid Prototyping & Sales Support: Develop rapid-turnaround formulations to support the sales team with realistic, deliverable products.
Cost Analysis & Procurement: Source raw materials and calculate formulation costs independently, as you will not have a dedicated procurement or costing team to rely on.
Cross-Category Formulation: Develop and refine formulations across various delivery systems, including liquids and topicals.
Scale-Up Management: Oversee the scaling of formulas from benchtop to production, ensuring commercial viability and troubleshooting issues as they arise.
Regulatory & Quality: Ensure all formulations meet regulatory standards within an FDA-registered cGMP facility.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Food Science, or a related field.
Experience: 3-5 years in dietary supplement or nutraceutical formulation.
Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of active ingredients, delivery systems, and excipients.
Generalist Mindset: Experience wearing "multiple hats" in smaller/mid-sized companies, avoiding siloed function.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: Comfortable with ambiguity and urgent timelines to support sales initiatives.

This role is an opportunity to define the ML foundations of maritime autonomy-where perception evolves from situational awareness, to navigation assistance, to full autonomy.
What You'll Pioneer
Core ML and Autonomy Innovation
· Invent and refine custom deep learning architectures for Radar and EO/IR imagery, with an emphasis on semantic segmentation and temporal tracking, not just detection.
· Develop multi-stage ML pipelines (context + characteristic models, segmentation + classification) tailored to low-SNR Radar returns.
· Train models on proprietary large-scale datasets (millions of Radar samples and camera sequences) with design-of-experiment methods for data collection and annotation.
· Optimize and deploy models to resource-constrained edge hardware (CPU-only and ARM64 platforms), including C++ inference layers.
· Advance fusion-aware ML models that integrate Radar with EO/IR, AIS, and cartography for robust classification in GPS-denied or cluttered environments.
· Collaborate with fusion and autonomy engineers to ensure ML outputs integrate seamlessly into multi-target tracking and SLAM pipelines.
· Contribute to ML-Ops workflows: data management, large-scale training, continuous integration of new field data, and automated evaluation pipelines.
What Sets You Apart
Essential Qualifications
· Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field.
· 7+ years applying machine learning and signal processing to real-world dynamic systems (graduate research counts if directly applicable).
· Demonstrated mastery of semantic segmentation and object classification models, ideally applied to non-vision sensor modalities.
· Expert-level Python skills with ML frameworks (TensorFlow/Keras, PyTorch, or equivalent).
Preferred Expertise
· Track record of developing ML models beyond standard YOLO-style detectors, particularly for segmentation of noisy or sparse data (Radar, sonar, or medical imaging).
· Strong background in computer vision and temporal modeling (CNNs, transformers, RNNs for sequential sensor data).
· Experience deploying ML to embedded/edge platforms with optimized C++ inference.
· Knowledge of marine, automotive, or aerial robotics systems.
· Contributions to large-scale ML data pipelines: annotation strategies, dataset balancing, simulation-to-real transfer.
· Passion for pushing the boundaries of AI in GPS-denied, cluttered, and low-visibility environments.
