We are looking for a CTO to lead the development and industrialization of our SOEC technology, with our 2028 go-to-market in sight. Our roadmap is demanding and clearly defined: we will be scaling our technology by orders of magnitude over the coming years, going through several validation milestones, design freeze and end of development before reaching the market. The new CTO will join at a critical moment along that path: not at the very beginning, where everything is exploration, nor at the very end, where everything is execution, but at the point where scientific rigor and industrial discipline must coexist every day.
We are looking for someone capable of combining two things that rarely come together: the scientific rigor to solve the technological challenges still ahead of us in MEA (Membrane Electrode Assembly), Stack and Balance of Plant, and the discipline of New Product Introduction to bring the technology from the lab to the industrial product. You will have three direct reports leading the MEA, Stack and BoP areas: people with judgment,



autonomy and deep knowledge of their field. Your challenge will not be to build the team from scratch, but to take it to the next level: aligning them around the roadmap, professionalizing the way we develop product, and building, together with them, the technical culture with which Kerionics will reach the market. Nor is this a role for silent execution. We are looking for someone capable of acting as the CEO's technical right hand: bringing top-level judgment, following the defined strategy and, when necessary, challenging it with arguments when you believe something has been wrongly decided. You will report to the CEO, but we expect from you the professional maturity to co-build with him, not just to execute. That technical honesty is part of the job.
Why this role matters (and what's in it for you)
- Technical leadership of a European deeptech scale-up. You will lead the development of one of the most efficient techno
