About us When a five-year-old boy was blinded after a regular eye exam failed to spot a retinal detachment, his father made it his life’s work to help eye care professionals by revolutionising retinal imaging. Optos was founded by Douglas Anderson in 1992 with the goal to make a patient-friendly device to quickly capture the entire retina. The experience of Douglas Anderson is a thread that runs through the company to this day and has resulted in our products being used in nearly 20,000 locations globally. Optomap® shows up to 82% (200°) of the retina in a single-capture, offering unrivalled clarity and Optos is proud to be recognised as the leader in this field. To stay at the forefront of technology and offer the very best solutions to our customers, we are at the beginning of an exciting journey that will expand our product offering, cement our position as the leaders in this field and see us expand our already fantastic team. Over the last 12 months we have made great progress in developing a new generation of products that will use cutting-edge technologies to drive our mission to transform eye care and are now looking for 3 x Test Development Engineers to continue the momentum, bringing your experience and ideas with you. You and the role We would love it if you came from a medical devices, automotive or defence/aerospace background as these industries translate well to what we do and how we work.

We would love to hear from people who are familiar with industry standards such as ISO 13485, IATF 16949 and you can expect to liaise with the Quality team in terms of compliance and continuous improvement. As a detailed-orientated person, you will be constantly interrogating your own test systems seeking out improvement and optimisation, implementing best practices and methodologies, supported by accurate documentation. From an educational perspective, you will have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Software Engineering or related field. A rich test development experience is vital, incorporating a mix of optics, electronics, software, firmware, laser systems, and mechanical elements. What else?
