R&D Director

Uppgiften

Vad vi förväntar oss

• A builder mindset - you thrive in a company environment where (almost) nothing is set, but everything is possible
• A growth attitude - you enjoy challenges and embrace opportunities for personal and professional development
• Hands-on approach: you are not afraid to take action, dive into the work and carry responsibility. You spot what needs to be done and take independent responsibility and deliver results
• Broad technical understanding across mechanics and electronics, with the ability to challenge technical decisions, connect disciplines, and make informed trade-offs.
• Proven track record of owning outcomes and leading technical teams through high-pressure phases.
• A genuine curiosity and practical knack for leveraging modern AI tools to streamline R&D processes, speed up technical workflows, and cut out administrative friction.
• 15+ years of relevant work experience in engineering and hardware product development.
• This role requires weekly onsite work at our headquarters in Espoo, Finland, to stay close to hardware prototyping, manufacturing, and engineering teams
• Professional working fluency in English (fluent Finnish is not required).

Vad vi erbjuder

• A chance to customise your career and grow in your field in a rapidly growing high-tech company
• Direct line to our CTO and C-level in a low-hierarchy, entrepreneurial environment. Unlike legacy hardware giants, you won't fight through five layers of committees and red tape just to ship an engineering fix-our short decision paths mean smart ideas always beat corporate bureaucracy.
• An international and easy-going team of 70 bright minds who embrace a culture of humour and collaboration
• Full-time, permanent contract with clear room to expand your leadership footprint as Kuori scales.
