About The Position
Shinkei Systems is pioneering technology to deliver the highest-quality seafood at scale. We’re looking for a Lab Tech to join our team at the intersection of fish biology research, engineering, and real-world operations. Your work will be pivotal in developing an industry-leading system to quantify the quality of fish. You will work hands-on with fish samples in a laboratory setting: setting up experiments, handling and evaluating fish based on taste, odor, and visual cues using Shinkei’s internal scales and lexicon. You will act as a dedicated, reliable sensory panelist, rigorously following established protocols and maintaining the highest standards of objectivity and focus. You will generate highly precise objective sensory data by performing character and intensity annotations.
