Chief Technology Officer, (CTO) - PiezoMotor

PiezoMotor AB is a Swedish high-tech company based in Uppsala, developing and manufacturing piezoelectric linear and rotary motors

for customers within medical technology, semiconductor manufacturing, advanced optics, and defense. As part of the publicly listed

Acuvi Group, PiezoMotor combines the stability and reach of an international technology group with the agility and entrepreneurial

spirit of a specialized engineering company. Research & Development, manufacturing, and assembly are all located in Uppsala, where

innovation, technical excellence, and customer focus are at the heart of the business.

As CTO of PiezoMotor, you will be a member of the management team and report directly to the CEO of Acuvi Group. This is a highly

influential role combining technical leadership, product strategy, customer engagement, and organizational development. As CTO you

will be responsible for leading and developing the company's R&D organization while driving the long-term technology roadmap and

future product platforms. You will lead a small but highly skilled and growing engineering team and play a key role in shaping the

next phase of the company's growth. In addition, you will act as a technical ambassador for PiezoMotor, working closely with

customers and partners to understand their needs and translate complex technical challenges into commercially viable solutions.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and develop the R&D organization, ensuring that development activities support the company's business objectives and

long-term growth strategy.

• Drive product development projects from concept through commercialization in close collaboration with operations and other

business functions.

• Act as a technical ambassador for the company in customer meetings, partner discussions, exhibitions, conferences, and industry

events.

• Identify new market opportunities and application areas within sectors such as semiconductors, medical technology, optics,

defense, and space technology, for example drone applications.

• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and Executive Management to ensure technical decisions are aligned with

business and customer needs.

Your profile

This is not a traditional CTO role in a large corporation. We are looking for a technically credible, hands-on leader who enjoys

being close to both technology and customers. You understand that successful technical decisions must also make commercial sense

and can naturally switch between strategic discussions and detailed engineering challenges.

You are a strong communicator who can explain complex technologies in a clear and engaging way, building trust with customers,

colleagues, and stakeholders alike. Most importantly, you are a doer with strong leadership capabilities rather than a PowerPoint

strategist.

• Several years of experience in the design and development of precision mechanics, special-purpose machinery, instruments, or

similar complex technical products.

• Deep understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and how machining methods, surface treatments, and design

choices affect performance at both component and system level.

• Ability to navigate complex, multidisciplinary engineering challenges and balance detailed problem-solving with a broader

strategic perspective.
