Why DTE?

We are past proving that the technology works. DTE's systems are already operating in production environments, and we are now scaling from individual installations to plant-wide deployments.

We are solving a fundamental blind spot in one of the world's largest industries: metals producers cannot optimise what they cannot measure in real time.

Our technology provides the foundation for real-time process control, higher recycling rates, lower emissions and the future of autonomous metals manufacturing.

As we expand into Europe, you will have the opportunity to help build our regional service capabilities from the ground up, while working closely with an experienced international team.

Our core values are purpose, excellence and empowerment. We look for people who are driven, resilient and motivated by building technology with real industrial impact.

We encourage people of all genders to apply. DTE is committed to being an inclusive workplace where employees feel empowered, supported and able to do their best work. We look forward to receiving your application.
