About the role

Torchbearers in Maryland is seeking a CTO-level leader to own the hardware strategy and drive production readiness for high-stakes systems. You will work on floor with suppliers, set part strategies, and build a durable hardware team alongside the software lead. This role requires hands-on presence and travel. If you have a track record of taking hardware into production and inspiring teams to follow you, this is your opportunity.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
