CTO - LapTics IVS

CTO in our Spin-off LapTics IVS
At Blue Ocean Robotics we create and commercialise robots. We apply robot technology to create solutions and innovation for end-users and new businesses in partnerships. We have created together with leading hospitals stakeholders a concept for a surgery assistant robot potentially used for operations like  laparoscopy, that needs to be realised during the next years. The capital for this realization has been secured and a company has been created to build and commercialize this robotic solution into a large and growing market.

As the new CTO of the LapTics IVS  your prime mission is to manage  the technical team both internally and externally  and turn customer-specific requirements into the next big robotic product. The  CTO will act as technical sales backup for the important meetings together with our CEO.

You will refer to the CEO of LapTics and will be the leading technical figure in LapTics until a commercial CEO is hired in the next investment round. You will be employed by LapTics directly.

Responsibilities
Among your responsibilities are:

• Being the LapTics product owner that clearly and bold keeps the organisation aligned with the final product specification

• Resource and capability planning for ongoing and future technical development activities.
• Securing high growth of new employees.
• Initial Customer meetings with the sales team to promote new product

The ideal profile
In the role as CTO it is expected that you have the following characteristics:

• You probably hold an engineering degree within robotics or similar.
• You have considerable management experience of product development of electronics, including HW, SW and mechanics, preferably from an international environment. A documented education within management of technology is a plus, but not a requirement.

Your personal qualities
