Optics11 · Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands
Skills: Python
Optics11 is a fast-growing high-tech company based in Amsterdam, developing advanced fiber optic sensing systems for the most demanding environments. Our technology detects the earliest signs of failure in critical assets – from high-voltage energy infrastructure to subsea and defense applications – and gives our customers precise, real-time data they can act on.
Within our Underwater Security business we develop sensing technologies that help detect and monitor underwater threats. Our solutions include OptiBarrier, designed for immediate, over-the-horizon threat detection, and OptiArray, our low-power optical thin-line towed array for unmanned underwater vehicles and submarines.
Role Overview
As a Hardware Test Engineer at Optics11, you play a key role in ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our fiber-optic sensing systems. You develop and execute hardware tests at board and sub-system level, identifying potential issues early and helping our engineers deliver robust, production-ready solutions.
Combining hands-on hardware engineering with test automation, you build test setups, analyze results, support prototype development, and help transfer testing processes from R&D to production.
You will be part of our Sensing Platform Team, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, production, and external partners.
What You'll Do
Hardware Testing & Automation
Develop and execute test plans and procedures for electronic boards, assemblies, and sub-systems. Design and maintain test setups, fixtures, and jigs for functional, electrical, and optical testing. Perform environmental, stability, and robustness testing, including thermal cycling, vibration, and EMC/ESD pre-compliance. Develop Python-based test automation for instrument control, data logging, and analysis. Document test procedures, results, and findings, ensuring clear traceability and reproducibility.
