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 Test Development Engineer Principal 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.

This role requires a meticulous individual who can design, develop, and implement robust tests, working closely with cross-functional teams and suppliers to ensure the reliability, quality, and compliance of our products.


You will have strong experience in building test systems from the ground up and be able to direct a small team of 3 to carry out all test-related activities, leading by example.


An excellent communicator, you will be comfortable working cross-functionally to understand product specifications and requirements. You will take this information into your test procedures to ensure the continued performance, safety and reliability of our products.


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 the test systems and fostering an environment amongst your team of seeking out improvement and optimisation, implementing best practices and methodologies, and ensure that all of this is captured through 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?


You need to be able to demonstrate continuous test, integration, development, tooling and processes along with a strong background in developing software automation tests on Windows and Linux. You’ll be a pro at Python and be able to demonstrate extensive, hands-on experience.


The ideal candidate will have experience of delivering software for medical devices along with practical experience in Power Shell, C#, C++, .NET.


Our favoured test tools are Squish, PyWinAuto, Appium and WinApp driver so experience in these areas would be great to see.


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’


Experience of defining and completing integration of one or more of Electronical/ Optical/ Mechanical Systems/Sub-systems would be ideal along with test experience/ automation of test processes for such systems.


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 test development professional from medical, automotive or defence/aerospace (in a manufacturing environment, not just web-based)
  • Leadership experience or strong potential/ natural next step
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Software Engineering or related field
  • Continuous Test, Integration, Development, Tooling and Processes
  • Excellent communicator who is comfortable working cross-functionally


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.
