Madrid, Madrid, España HYTE® A tiempo completo

Chief Technology Officer

Location:
Spain (on-site / hybrid)

✛ This role is being managed exclusively by HYTE on a retained basis ✛

Direct applications and confidential enquires are welcomed.

✛ Overview ✛

HYTE is retained by a fast-growing, venture-backed advanced engineering company developing a next-generation, electrically powered aerospace platform, now moving from intensive R&D into execution, prototyping, and industrialisation.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused engineering leadership role, sitting at the heart of a highly technical product development programme. The successful individual will take ownership of technical direction, engineering execution, and team leadership in a high-pressure, high-ambiguity environment.

The role suits someone who has grown through battery, energy storage, or electric propulsion engineering into senior leadership, and who remains comfortable operating close to the technical detail while setting direction at system level.

This is not a purely strategic or people-only leadership role.

✛ Key Responsibilities ✛

  • Lead and coordinate multi-disciplinary engineering teams across battery systems, electric propulsion, mechanical, electrical, and systems domains
  • Own engineering delivery, timelines, and critical technical decision-making
  • Drive hands-on development, prototyping, and early-stage industrialisation
  • Translate strategic objectives into executable engineering plans
  • Ensure engineering outputs are aligned with manufacturability, certification, and scale-up requirements
  • Act as a senior technical counterpart to executive leadership, investors, suppliers, and partners
  • Drive a culture of accountability, pace, and pragmatic problem-solving

✛ Candidate Profile ✛

  • Senior engineering leader with deep technical roots in batteries, energy storage, or electric propulsion
  • Career progression from hands-on engineer into technical leadership
  • Experience delivering complex, hardware-led products in aviation, electric aviation, advanced mobility, or similarly demanding environments
  • Comfortable making decisive technical calls in fast-moving, ambiguous conditions
  • Willing and able to be hands-on again where required (development, prototyping, technical problem-solving)
  • Experience leading engineers and technical leads, not just managing programmes
  • Clear understanding of the differences between automotive and aviation development environments
  • Open to working on-site in Spain; short-term hybrid possible, but long-term presence is expected

Experience in electric aviation, battery systems, or electric propulsion is essential.

✛ Take your career to new HYTEs ✛

  • Foundational technical leadership position with genuine influence over product and engineering direction
  • High autonomy and visibility at executive and investor level
  • Opportunity to shape engineering culture, technology choices, and delivery approach at a pivotal growth stage
