Build tomorrow’s materials economy—today.
Rotehügels is a research-business consultancy advancing sustainability and circular economy across metals, recycling, and advanced manufacturing. We’re assembling a team of domain experts who love hard problems and elegant solutions.
Out-of-the-box is day one. We prize original thought grounded in first principles and real-world constraints.
Every design choice should move us toward circularity: lower footprints, longer lifecycles, and smarter reuse.
Autonomy with accountability. You ship, measure, and iterate—lab to plant to market.
Experiments over opinions. We document, share, and improve as a team.
Domains we’re hiring for
No rigid designations—join as a domain expert. Tell us the outcomes you can own and the systems you can improve.
Designers who turn complex metallurgical and circular-economy ideas into elegant products, UIs, visual systems, and pilot rigs people actually use.
Metallurgists who love flowsheets: leach–SX–EW, flotation, refining, and scale-up from bench to plant with uncompromising safety and yield.
Engineers who build robust software, data pipelines, plant digital twins, edge/IoT, and secure infra the business can rely on.
Analysts who map supply chains, price curves, policy, and customer insight to guide our go-to-market and partnerships.
People who craft win-win deals, grow accounts, and open new geographies across mining, recycling, and advanced materials.
Engineers who turn lab results into defensible IP—prior-art searches, claims drafting, and patent strategy with scientists.
Chemists who run precise wet-lab programs—AAS/ICP, titrations, bench leach, solvent extraction, QA/QC—fast and reproducibly.
Tinkerers who test unconventional ideas: niche separations, novel reagents, modular rigs, and zero-to-one prototypes.
AI engineers who fine-tune domain models, retrieval pipelines, and on-prem agents for labs, plants, and business workflows.
Industry Experts & Associates
We welcome senior professionals to collaborate on consulting, joint research, and technology development. If you bring deep expertise—operations, process design, market/regulatory, IP, or venture building—let’s design an engagement around outcomes.
Show your best work: papers, prototypes, pilots, code, or deals—impact over titles.
Connect lab, plant, market, and policy. Design for sustainability and circularity by default.
You ship. You test. You learn. You document so others can build on it.
What we offer
Pay is scoped to the project — what you deliver and the complexity of the problem you solve. We discuss openly and align on value before any engagement begins.
No micromanagement. You own your domain — from design decisions to delivery. We trust you to ship, and we back you with the resources to do it.
Work on projects spanning India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Build a portfolio that spans continents, not just companies.
Access to industry tools, technical resources, and a team that documents and shares knowledge. We grow together — experiments are celebrated, not penalised.
Work alongside our proprietary AutoREX™ automation platform. Be part of building and deploying technology that goes live on real industrial plants.
Every project contributes to the circular economy — recovering critical metals, reducing industrial waste, and building a more sustainable materials supply chain.
