JOB DETAILS
We are supporting a rapidly growing additive manufacturing company as they enter their next phase of technological development. The business designs and manufactures its own industrial 3D printing systems and is now expanding both its headquarters and European footprint.
As CTO, you will take full ownership of the company’s technical strategy, R&D direction and technology roadmap. This position is central to shaping the next generation of industrial 3D printing machinery and ensuring the successful integration of new technologies across hardware, electronics, software and materials.
You will lead multidisciplinary engineering teams, drive innovation, oversee system architecture, and ensure the business continues to deliver reliable, scalable and competitive AM solutions to the global market.
This role combines strategic leadership with deep technical capability and is ideal for someone who thrives in hands‑on engineering environments and can also contribute meaningfully to high‑level business decisions.

Set engineering standards, processes and KPIs to ensure high‑quality output and efficient project delivery.
Support strategic business decisions, including partnerships, technical investments and product direction.
Act as the technical voice of the company to both internal stakeholders and external partners.
Create an innovation culture that encourages problem‑solving, experimentation and continuous improvement.
ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE
Senior leadership experience within additive manufacturing, machine building, robotics, industrial automation or similar high‑tech engineering environments.
Proven track record in developing complex electromechanical systems (hardware, software, electronics).
Strong engineering foundation in electronics, mechatronics or mechanical engineering.
Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Background in owning full product life cycles from R&D to market launch.
Ability to define long‑term engineering strategy while remaining technically hands‑on when needed.
Experience working in scaling organisations or high‑growth technology environments.
Understanding of 3D printing technologies (FDM/SLA/SLS or similar), system architecture and material interactions.
Strong decision‑making capability across both engineering and commercial contexts.
Comfortable relocating to Poland and working on‑site with engineering teams.
QUALIFICATIONS
Degree in Engineering (Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Materials or similar).
