Our technology uses electricity and widely available feedstocks (CO, CO2 emissions, salt streams) rather than fossil or imported resources, de-linking the production of critical chemicals from supply chains exposed to chokepoints, export bans, and price volatility. We focus on chemicals where our direct electrified pathway simplifies complex multi-step fossil-fuel-based processes into fewer simpler steps; delivering a process that is both cleaner and cheaper. Having validated the superiority of our technology at our industrial module scale, we are now preparing for commercial deployment.\nWe are supported by world-class funders including Bill-Gates-founded Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital and Gigascale Capital and have raised $50M to date. We operate from two centers in Paris and California (so whether you are passionate about outdoors or good food/art scenes, we have a location for you to join!)\nYour Mission\nDioxycle is seeking an expert VP, Hydrometallurgy to join our team at a pivotal phase as we continue to develop different product lines of our platform electrolyzer and transition from R&D to industrial piloting and early commercial deployment.\nWe are looking for an industry expert with a wealth of knowledge and experience in metallurgical processes, such as ore refining/processing (lithium, nickel, bauxite) with experience extracting metal oxides from mined rock.
