Anticipated compensation: $150–$300 per hour, depending on qualifications and assignment, or a negotiated fixed price by work package. $300 per hour is the maximum anticipated rate.

Axyde Analytics is assembling a multidisciplinary expert team for anticipated U.S. government-funded project-scoping assignments involving critical minerals and international infrastructure.

We seek multiple specialists covering natural and synthetic graphite, mine-to-anode development, purification, active-anode-material production and customer qualification. Assignments may involve international graphite resources, overseas processing facilities, U.S.-owned projects, allied supply chains or proposed U.S. conversion plants.

Axyde does not expect one candidate to cover the entire graphite value chain. Applicants should identify the areas in which they possess direct, demonstrable expertise.

We are recruiting experts in one or more of the following tracks:

• Flake-graphite geology, exploration and resource estimation

• Deposit mineralogy, geometallurgy and ore variability

• Mining and production planning for graphite resources

• Crushing, grinding, classification and flotation

• Concentrate grade, recovery, flake-size distribution and impurity control

• Thermal and chemical purification

• Micronization, rounding and spheronization

• Coating, carbonization and active-anode-material production

• Synthetic graphite and precursor-material production

• Yield, recycle streams and production-scale mass balances

• Product characterization, analytical methods and quality control

• Cell testing, sample qualification and customer acceptance

• Graphite markets, pricing, offtake and supply-chain strategy

• Tailings, water, reagents, emissions and hazardous-material management

• Pilot design, commercial scale-up and independent technical review

Depending on the assignment and specialist track, selected experts may:

• Evaluate graphite-resource quality, quantity, continuity and confidence.

• Review geological models, drilling, sampling, assays, mineralogy and resource classifications.

• Assess ore variability, liberation, flotation, concentrate recovery and flake-size preservation.

• Evaluate concentrate specifications, impurities and suitability for downstream purification.

• Review chemical or thermal purification routes, reagent requirements, emissions and residues.

• Assess micronization, spheronization, coating, carbonization and product-yield assumptions.

• Review synthetic-graphite feedstocks, furnaces, energy requirements and product characteristics.

• Evaluate testwork, pilot results, equipment selection, operating references and scale-up evidence.

• Assess sample programs, electrochemical testing, customer qualification and acceptance schedules.

• Reconcile mine output, concentrate production, purification yield and finished-product capacity.

• Identify decisive technical information gaps and define testwork or diligence needed to resolve them.

• Evaluate power, water, reagents, roads, ports, shipping and associated infrastructure.

• Contribute to capital-cost, operating-cost, schedule and implementation assumptions.

• Assess product markets, benchmark pricing, premiums, discounts, offtake and financing requirements.

• Evaluate source diversification, provenance, traceability and single-source exposure.

• Identify realistic opportunities for U.S. equipment, engineering, technology and services.

• Develop or review feasibility-study, technical-assistance or pilot-project terms of reference, budgets and schedules.

• Participate in sponsor, government, supplier, laboratory, customer or financing-source discussions.

• Support international meetings, site visits and field verification when required.

• Prepare concise analyses and recommendations for senior government decision-makers.

• Serve as a discipline lead, contributor, same-discipline alternate or independent technical reviewer.

Candidates should possess:

• At least 7–10 years of directly relevant professional experience, with greater experience preferred for discipline-lead and independent-review roles.

• A degree in geology, mining engineering, mineral processing, metallurgy, chemical engineering, materials science, electrochemistry or a closely related field.

• Direct responsibility for identifiable graphite projects, processing facilities, anode-material plants, studies, test programs or commercial supply chains.

• Demonstrated understanding of the relationship among resource characteristics, beneficiation, purification, production yield, product specifications and customer qualification.

• Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.

• Ability to prepare concise, decision-oriented technical work.

• Ability to collaborate across geological, processing, environmental, commercial and financial disciplines.

• Either U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent-resident status in the United States.

• Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.

• Willingness and ability to travel internationally when an assignment requires it.

• No known employment, confidentiality, intellectual-property, noncompete or conflict-of-interest restriction that would prevent participation.

Experience with projects or facilities in Africa, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania, Canada, Australia, Europe, Asia or the United States is particularly valuable.

Please submit a résumé and a brief response identifying:

1. Your strongest specialist track or tracks.

2. The graphite deposits, concentrates, purification technologies, anode processes and finished products with which you have direct experience.

3. Up to five representative projects, facilities or studies and your personal responsibilities on each.

4. The development stages you have supported, including exploration, testwork, pilot, demonstration, feasibility, design, construction, commissioning, operations or customer qualification.

5. Countries and regions in which you have worked.

6. Languages in which you can conduct professional discussions or technical review.

7. Whether you can serve as a discipline lead, independent reviewer, or both.

8. Your current U.S. location.

9. Whether you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

10. Your availability during the next 30 days.

11. Your ability to travel internationally and any geographic restrictions.

12. Your anticipated hourly rate.

13. Any actual or potential conflicts involving governments, project sponsors, technology providers, mining companies, battery manufacturers or current employers.

This is a contingent opportunity supporting anticipated government-funded assignments. No employment, contract award, minimum workload or particular assignment is guaranteed.

Selection for an assignment will depend on contract award, the specific resource and technical question, qualifications, availability, eligibility, conflicts, travel requirements, mutually acceptable compensation and execution of appropriate employment or consulting documentation.

Axyde may tailor and reformat selected résumés for proposal compliance without materially changing the candidate’s qualifications or experience.
