Job Description

WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
  • Location: Barcelona
  • Contract: Permanent, senior leadership role
  • Language: English is the working language across the business
  • Team size: 20–30+ engineers across hardware, software, electronics & materials
  • Technology: Proprietary, next-generation printing hardware working with functional, high-viscosity materials
THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a rare CTO role for someone who wants to own a genuinely differentiated hardware platform, not maintain incremental improvements on legacy tech.

The company has already achieved what most never do:

  • Fully in-house proprietary printhead technology
  • A complete, integrated hardware and software platform
  • Proven materials capability that unlocks applications previously considered impossible

You’ll lead the transition from cutting‑edge R&D into robust, reliable, industrial‑grade systems ready for global deployment. This is about taking breakthrough physics, materials science, and precision engineering and turning it into something customers can run 24/7.

YOUR IMPACT

As CTO, you’ll be responsible for:

  • Defining and owning the long‑term technology roadmap
  • Turning prototypes into modular, production‑ready systems
  • Ensuring quality, reliability, and manufacturability at industrial scale
  • Leading a highly multidisciplinary engineering organisation across hardware, software, electronics, firmware, and materials
  • Acting as the senior technical authority with customers, partners, and investors

This is a role for someone who enjoys technical depth but can also zoom out and make the right architectural and strategic decisions.

WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON
  • Advanced printhead and fluid‑handling systems
  • Complex system architecture across mechanics, electronics, and software
  • Intelligent software platforms (including xcskxlj AI‑driven optimisation and compensation)
  • Design‑for‑manufacture and industrialisation of deep‑tech hardware
  • Strategic partnerships with research institutes and industrial partners
WHAT MAKES SOMEONE SUCCESSFUL HERE
  • 10+ years in deep‑tech engineering environments (additive manufacturing, inkjet, robotics, precision electronics, or similar)
  • A proven track record of scaling hardware from lab to industrial reality
  • Comfortable leading across disciplines — even if your core expertise sits in one
  • Hands‑on when needed; strategic when required
  • Calm, patient, and credible in long hardware development cycles

Chief Technology Officer • Sallent, Barcelona, ES
