Chief Technology Officer

Key Responsibilities

• Own and continuously shape the product and technology roadmap, translating customer needs and market trends into clear technology priorities.
• Act as the company’s technological lighthouse across tactical communications, datalinks, SDR, SATCOM, anti-jam communications, RF and UAV-related communications.
• Lead technology scouting, innovation initiatives, architecture reviews, design reviews and technical surveys. This is a hands-on CTO role, not a presentation-only position.
• Maintain direct technical engagement with strategic customers, partners, suppliers and relevant technology ecosystems.
• Create strong linkage between commercial/marketing inputs and R&D, ensuring that technology decisions reflect market direction and differentiated customer value.
• Challenge and validate key architectural choices, technology readiness, make/buy decisions and long-term platform evolution.
• Support product strategy, technical positioning, proposals and strategic customer discussions where executive-level technical leadership is required.
• Work closely with the VP R&D while respecting a clear boundary: the VP R&D retains responsibility for development-team management and execution.

Required Experience & Qualifications

• At least 10 years of relevant experience in communications technologies closely related to Commtact’s domains.
• Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Computer Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Strong background in RF communications, SDR, digital communications and system architecture; experience in tactical communications, UAV datalinks, SATCOM and/or anti-jam systems is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to lead substantive technical reviews and to work hands-on with engineers and technical data.
• Experience linking technology roadmaps to product strategy, market needs and customer requirements.
• Defense-industry and international customer exposure is a strong advantage.
• Excellent English communication skills; ability to represent the company credibly with technical and executive stakeholders.

Additional Advantage / Potential Scope Expansion

• Practical understanding and experience in algorithms relevant to communication systems is considered an advantage. This may include areas such as signal processing, communications algorithms, estimation, synchronization, coding/modulation, interference mitigation, networking optimization or related algorithmic disciplines.

Leadership Profile

• Technically deep, intellectually curious and decisive, with the credibility to challenge assumptions and guide senior engineers.
• Strategic enough to define direction, practical enough to roll up sleeves and drive technical clarification when needed.
• Collaborative and low-ego, able to influence across R&D, product, commercial and executive teams without taking over line-management responsibilities.
