TOMRA operates a global hardware-and-software platform for automated collection and sorting across food, recycling, and mining—a capital-intensive, operations-heavy business reflected in their hiring: 116 engineers driving vision-model design and sorting optimization, 65 operations staff managing equipment uptime, and 63 support roles handling customer downtime. The stack shows industrial-machine DNA (Modbus, PROFINET, RFID, CAD) layered with modern ML (ResNet, MobileNet, Transformer for food-sorting vision) and cloud infrastructure (Azure, MLOps), while an active ERP migration and kiosk rollout signal business scaling beyond pure hardware.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead, Software Team Lead, Head of Finance
TOMRA manufactures reverse vending machines and sorting systems that automate collection and recovery of beverage containers, food waste, recyclables, and mining materials. Founded in 1972 as a beverage-container innovator, the company now operates across food processors, municipal recycling facilities, and mining operations worldwide. With 5,001–10,000 employees spanning 25+ countries and active hiring across engineering, operations, and support, TOMRA runs a dual business model: hardware deployment (kiosks, sorting lines) and recurring service revenue tied to system uptime and throughput optimization. Current focus areas include ERP modernization, vision-model deployment for sorting accuracy, and reducing equipment downtime—a core customer pain point.
TOMRA runs industrial-machine controls (Modbus TCP, PROFINET, RFMI) integrated with Python, C++, C# backends; SAP and IFS for ERP; Azure Machine Learning and MLOps for vision models (ResNet, MobileNet, Transformer); and Microsoft 365 for operations.
Active projects include ERP implementation, sorting system optimization, vision-model design for food sorting, kiosk and bulk-processing-system rollout, technical support center of excellence, and new service product launches.
