The role
Build and own our digital twin of the cow’s rumen. We recalibrate an open‑source mechanistic whole‑cow model with our proprietary fermentation and feeding data to predict methane and digestibility outcomes.
What you’ll do
- Develop and maintain the rumen and whole‑cow digital twin, integrating lab fermentation data and on‑farm feeding data.
- Build the data pipelines connecting lab experiments, trials, and field results.
- Improve predictive accuracy (methane reduction, digestibility, milk yield) with every new farm and experiment.
- Turn model outputs into product and formulation decisions alongside the science and commercial teams.
- Shape with data and AI all processes in an early stage deep tech startup.
What you bring
- Strong Python and applied ML or statistics; experience with mechanistic or hybrid (mechanistic plus ML) modeling.
- Ability to work with small, messy, real‑world biological datasets.
- Curiosity about biology; you enjoy modeling systems you cannot fully observe.
Bonus:
bioprocess or systems‑biology modeling, agriculture or animal‑science data, dynamical systems (ODE) models.
