Electra Tech Stack

Electrochemical clean iron production from iron ore at pilot scale

Primary Metal Manufacturing Boulder, CO 51–200 employees Founded 2020 Privately Held

Electra converts iron ore into high-purity iron through an electrochemical, electricity-driven process instead of conventional ironmaking. Its stack is dominated by industrial automation (Siemens S7, TIA Portal, Ignition, SCADA, DCS, MES, LabVIEW), with Minitab and JMP for process statistics, pointing to a team moving pilot hydrometallurgical systems toward production. Senior-only, accelerating hiring centers on controls and reliability engineering.
