CTO Systems – Chief Technology Officer, Systems
Evolved Aerospace develops mission-critical aerospace systems designed for real operational use.
We combine autonomy, software, sensing, and systems integration to deliver capability that performs in contested and constrained environments — not just in test settings.
Our work is guided by a simple principle: platforms are means, not the objective. Mission outcomes define success.

Role summary:
As CTO, Systems, you own mission systems and system architecture across Evolved.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role, not a research role and not a business role. You are accountable for technical correctness, architectural coherence, and system-level decisions.
You are also a customer-facing technical leader, involved early, setting expectations, shaping solutions, and ensuring technical credibility.
We're looking for:
* Proven ownership of end-to-end system behaviour on complex, mission- or safety-critical platforms.
* Experience being accountable for system-level requirements, interfaces, and architectural guardrails.
* Made binding technical trade-offs under real operational constraints.
