Amsterdam, Nederland Optics11 Voltijd

For our Amsterdam Team we are looking for an experienced Photonics Engineer, who will become a key player in bringing our fiber-optic sensing instruments from idea, design stage to our customers. The role involves the design of the system architecture, translating product requirements into technical specifications, selecting key components, leading the development from proof of concept to product maturity, and making sound technical decisions along the way.


Optics11 is an Amsterdam-based high-tech startup on a mission to innovate underwater security and put Netherlands on the map of European sonar industry. Our novel fiberoptic technology is redefining underwater security, enabling advanced sonar solutions for safeguarding of key naval and underwater infrastructure. Our high-paced development has been met with an ever growing interest from the market, with selection of our towed array technology for the new generation of Dutch submarines being the latest testament to our progress. As we transition towards commercial deployments, we are seeking ambitious, mission-driven professionals to join us in shaping the next chapter of our growth and success.


Responsibilities:

  • Build and test prototypes of photonic systems, conducting experiments to validate designs and performance specifications.
  • Develop and execute testing protocols for photonic systems, analyzing data and making recommendations for improvements.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to integrate photonic systems into larger electronic and optical systems.
  • Prepare comprehensive technical documentation, including design specifications, test reports, and user manuals.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance, to ensure successful project execution.

What's in it for you?

  • Competitive salary
  • Innovative high-tech, international organization
  • The opportunity to join a great R&D team
  • A lot to learn and to develop, we stimulate personal development
  • Very international organization and a bunch of great colleagues


Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree, or PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Optical Engineering, Applied Physics or a related field in the area of Photonics.
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in photonics engineering, with a focus on the design and development of optical systems.
  • Good understanding of fiber-optic sensors, or interferometric measurement systems.
  • Experience with system design practices and technical leadership responsibility.
  • Deep understanding of photonic components and their performance properties.
  • Hands-on experience with optical measurements and experimenting.
  • Familiar with handling of fiber-optics, splicing, working with lasers.
  • Knowledge of signal processing (in Python, or MATLAB) is a strong plus.
  • Deeper understanding of electronics, especially for data acquisition, is a strong plus.
  • Experience with development management tools (JIRA, confluence, GIT) is a plus.

Interpersonal skills:

  • Creative, solution-oriented thinking
  • Quick learner with a proactive and hands-on working attitude
  • Ability to write and communicate clearly on technical problems and technology
  • Being a team-player, but also being able to work autonomously in your field of expertise.

You'll be working with clients in the defense and security sectors, obtaining a Certificate of No Objection issued by the AIVD (Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service) is mandatory. This means you will need to undergo a security screening. For more information, please refer to details on security screening.
