This position takes place it the global project on recycling Printed Circuit Boards. More precisely, it will focus on developing an efficient processing route to dismantle efficiently as well as sort resulting electronic components into fraction as enriched as possible in various strategic metals. The selected candidate will therefore develop a process to recover the various fractions of the PCBs, ca. polymeric/organic, inorganic fibers, solder, and metallic components (ferrous and non ferrous)

Key Responsibilities:

• The selected candidate will therefore develop a process to recover the various fractions of the PCBs, ca. polymeric/organic, inorganic fibers, solder, and metallic components (ferrous and non ferrous).

Job Requirements:
