Industrial Data Scientist
The opportunity
Recycleye and CPG are building a team to provide data analytics and actionable insights to a waste facility operator. There are near Infrared sorters (NIR), balers, AI powered airjets, AI robots, mechanical screens, and many different types of machines in a waste facility. The waste that comes in is varied on a daily, hourly, minute basis. The machines and plant can be configured in thousands of ways to sort the material, changing conveyor speeds, sorter settings, and coming up with complex business logic to match output to material pricing and revenue.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the team to help push the boundaries of material sorting in waste facilities - understand the data, present to a team of experts, and develop models to automate and optimise throughput, revenue, and material output purity. If you ever wanted to make a difference in the world of recycling this is it!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities Overview
- Track, measure, analyse billions of rows of time-series data from a waste facility. Motors, sorters, AI cameras, etc.
- Develop methods to link, simplify, clean/de-noise the data and visualise in clear graphics/analytics for a non-technical audience (experts first, waste operators second) to understand and action.
- Develop plant-level understanding - from the data. Translate data into logical rules or first principles for improved understanding.
- Build statistical models detect anomalies and optimise plant output, revenue, etc. and test them. Understand the tradeoffs.
- A/B Test different plant setups based on optimisation algorithms, measure output and iterate.
- Develop scoring functions, feedback loops, and quantitative metrics to compare results against.
Requirements
- A background in data analytics and statistical modelling from data.
- Ability to write high-quality production-level code (we use Python), mathematical models, statistical simulations. Advanced SQL skills.
- Comfortable with getting hands-on in large scale physical systems. Going into waste facilities to deeply understand processes, flow of material, the gap between physical and virtual world.
- Experienced in data visualisation
- Practical - ability to get into the customer shoes and solve trivial breakdown or other problems before complex optimisation.
- Ability to travel (to the US) up 1-2 weeks a quarter.
