Have you ever wondered what happens to all those research papers, theses, and scientific literature produced at universities over the years? We did too! This is why we created IGOR^AI, our AI-powered technology search engine that finds solutions and innovations quickly and easily by reading millions of scientific publications, patents & webpages. We are looking for a technology scout with an engineering background that is excited to work with IGOR^AI to help dozens of multinationals and SMEs to innovate more effectively.
Your role
We are looking for technology enthusiasts eager to work at an energetic startup, willing to learn a lot about new technology and celebrate (with cake) each innovation we contribute to. At Findest, you will be responsible for solving our clients' technical challenges on a full-time basis. You will learn to use our internal search engine IGOR^AI to quickly get an overview of all technical solutions for our client's challenges. You will be end-to-end responsible for a client's technology scouting pipeline:
We will teach you how to interview our clients, understand and rewrite technical challenges according to methods such as Systems Engineering Design, technology decomposition, and innovation management. Furthermore, you will actively work together with our (AI) developers to improve IGOR^AI continuously. Curious to see what you will deliver? Read about projects on heat integration (together with Institute of Sustainable Process and Technology - ISPT) or reducing CO2 emissions by our technology scouts. |
