About Litech

Litech is an Oslo-based startup specializing in developing sensor systems to detect and remove hazardous objects, such as flammable batteries and gas bottles, to prevent fires and explosions at waste facilities. Our vision is to create sustainable and safe waste management by eliminating the harmful impact of incorrectly sorted hazardous materials.

Our first pilot project with Norsk Gjenvinning was recently launched at their facility in Oslo. We collaborate with partners in the waste industry and R&D and are part of the vibrant Startuplab ecosystem, benefiting from its extensive network and resources.

We're currently seeking a skilled Data Scientist to join our team!

Your role
