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 OverviewAs 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 DoHardware Testing & AutomationDevelop 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.
Document test procedures, results, and findings, ensuring clear traceability and reproducibility.
Prototyping & Production SupportSupport prototype assembly, soldering, rework, cable assembly.
