Research shows that while male candidates feel confident enough to apply when they meet about 60% of the requirements, female candidates only apply when they tick every box. So if this role has your name on it, but you’re not sure about the criteria, we still want to hear from you.
The Xorter is an ingenious, unique machine with many possibilities. However, it also has its challenges. These lie in the mechanical and hardware functions, as well as in the software that drives the processes. The Technology Director will understand both challenges and act as a bridge that links the domains to develop a seamless connection. This way, the Xorter can function efficiently and recycle almost any type of metal. This is sensitive, complex and customized work. The Xorter is controlled by embedded software, AI, and robotics to ensure the optimal precision and accuracy of the machine. This Director role requires a physics background, understanding of how metals work, and how lenses, lasers, and sensors can 'read' them. Along with three industrial designers in their team, the Technology Director explores how to optimize the Xorter and its processes. For example, they could identify ways to make the separation process even more efficient and eliminate glitches. In addition to professionalizing the hardware, optimizing the software is also essential for the Technology Director, whose team has two AI specialists, an IoT specialist, and a robotics expert. Together, they continually look for ways to improve the AI model of the Xorter, enhance process collected data, as well as identify innovations that could be of the most value for the Xorter. The Technology Director leads a team of seven, including several freelance, external specialists. By engaging the right team members, the Director will further expand their team. They will also spar on a technical content level with an external advisor from Technical University in Delft and report directly to Myne CEO, Martijn van de Poll.
The Technology Director will not only connect the technical dots, but also people and their skillsets. By seamlessly aligning knowledge, expertise, and technology, the Director ensures that Myne can introduce the rest of the world to digital recycling using a highly-effective, duplicatable Xorter machine.
This role needs a solid understanding of physics or mathematics, and is highly technical with effective operational and communications skills. It is an excellent opportunity for a senior strategy consultant who wants to apply their specialized expertise in a technical environment that will make an impact towards a more sustainable society.
