Job Description

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 a Systems Verification Engineer Principal to continue the momentum, bringing your experience and ideas with you.


You and the role


We would love it if you come from a medical devices, automotive or defence/aerospace background as these industries translate well to what we do and how we work.

This role is part of the Systems Delivery Team, where you will be required to liaise with various colleagues across the business to advance the overall objectives with a particular focus on Test activities.


Day-today, you can expect to be involved with automated testing, manual testing, documentation obtained from test activities, DevOps activities (with an emphasis on test), distributed network activities, virtual machine management along with Continuous Improvement/ Continuous Delivery management, following a TDD / BDD approach.


We are looking for someone who can take on a range of tasks including contributing to the Agile team’s objectives and reporting daily activities against a backdrop of stories, bugs and general tickets being actioned in the sprint.


What else will you be doing?


  • Building tools, infrastructure and processes that enable development teams continuously to test their products
  • Developing, maintaining and owning continuous systems test suites – everything from unit tests to acceptance tests
  • Preparing verification reports and associated documents to meet comply with the regulatory requirements
  • Supporting the production unit for automation infrastructure set up and execution
  • Communicating and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders
  • Taking a pro-active role in continuous improvement initiatives around verification
  • Evaluating Systems behaviour by executing automation test suites and image characteristics analysis during environment conditions such as temperature and storage
  • Owning and running a testing community of practice to ensure testing best practices are applied and adopted cross-functionally


In this role you will have direct line management of one person but will be taking the lead on our overall verification strategy/ activities.


Life at Optos is fast-paced and everyone tends to chip in. We have an experienced team who are comfortable working across various disciplines and teams so you’ll be a good fit for us if you don’t want to ‘stay in your lane’


From an educational perspective, you will be degree qualified in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field (or have equivalent practical experience).


You will be results oriented, driven, and dynamic, bringing energy to everything you do. You are passionate about continuous improvement and thrive working cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.


What we offer


Optos offers competitive basic salaries along with bonus and a host of benefits including enhanced holidays, flexible working, hybrid working and contributory pension. We have a range of extras that all go towards making our colleagues feel valued, respected and well looked after.


In summary we are looking for…


  • Strong integration and test professional from medical, automotive or defence/aerospace
  • Minimum of 5 years’ experience in programming (Ideally Python but can be any other programming language e.g. C/C++, C#, Java etc)
  • Experience using and developing DevOps tools and techniques
  • Familiar with virtual machine management tools (preferably for VMWare)
  • Hands-on experience with TDD/BDD based approaches (preferably behave)
  • Experience in CI / CD operation and management (e.g. Jenkins, TeamCity or other)
  • Hands-on experience using source control tools (e.g. Git)
  • Experience with integration of one or more of Electronical/ Optical/ Mechanical Systems/Sub-systems
  • Leadership experience or natural next step


What next?


We believe the key to unlocking our potential is to recruit driven, innovative, and collaborative people. These are people who embrace challenges, diversity and change and who are looking for unlimited opportunities – people who believe that the most exciting thing about Optos is what we are going to do next.


You can apply for this role directly via our website or contact our recruitment partner India Smith ( ) for an informal discussion.
