Electra Tech Stack

Electrochemical ironmaking technology for low-carbon steel production

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

Electra is a hardware-scale-up company applying electrochemistry and industrial automation to reduce carbon emissions in primary steel production. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward manufacturing control (Siemens, LabVIEW, SCADA, PLCs, DCS) and process simulation (COMSOL), with ERP (NetSuite) and accounting tooling layered on top—a pattern typical of companies transitioning pilot processes toward commercial-scale production. Hiring is concentrated in engineering (12 roles, mostly senior/director level) and operations, reflecting the stage: moving from R&D into manufacturing deployment and cost-structure validation.

About Electra

Electra develops electrochemical iron-smelting technology designed to produce 99% pure iron from ore while dramatically reducing carbon output compared to traditional blast-furnace methods. Founded in 2020, the company is based in Boulder, CO and operates at 51–200 employees. Current focus spans pilot-plant commissioning, industrial control-system integration (VFD installation, PLC/HMI/SCADA architecture), manufacturing accounting infrastructure, and operational readiness for demonstration and eventual commercial plants. Active projects include pilot-plant processing design, end-to-end steelmaking value-chain analysis, and procurement/compliance frameworks—all pointing toward scaling from lab to production.
