Senior Process Engineer

About Us

Are you ready to be part of a team that is bringing revolutionary technology to the remediation industries? DISA Technologies is revolutionizing mineral recovery with our patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) technology—an innovative solution that upgrades critical minerals from mined ore and legacy waste. Serving both the mining and remediation sectors, we recover valuable resources that power industry, strengthen energy independence, and restore contaminated sites to productive use.

Our technology unlocks economic and environmental value, transforming how the world processes, remediates, and recycles essential mineral assets.

The Senior Process Engineer will play a key role in developing, testing, and optimizing DISA's innovative HPSA technology for minerals processing, tailings remediation, and resource recovery. This role involves heavy lab work supporting the future design and execution of process experiments, generating high-quality data, and providing engineering insights to advance commercialization across multiple market applications. The Senior Process Engineer will collaborate closely with internal teams, consultants, and strategic partners to support R&D, pilot campaigns, and field deployments.

The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic start‑up environment, wearing multiple hats and contributing to many areas of business development.
