You will work closely with specialists in optics, electronics, software, mechanics, and medical applications to deliver a robust and clinically valuable product.

Your Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of a high-accuracy optical and infrared eye imaging system.
• Define system requirements, architecture, and performance budgets.
• Coordinate development of optical, electronic, software, and mechanical subsystems.
• Develop imaging and measurement solutions for vision correction applications.
• Help ensure compliance with applicable medical device standards and regulations.
• Define and oversee verification, validation, test, and qualification activities.
• Work closely with multidisciplinary specialists and external partners.
• Translate customer, clinical, and regulatory requirements into practical engineering solutions.

Your Profile:

• Background in medical imaging, biomedical engineering, optics, physics, electrical engineering, or a related field.
• Experience with the development of complex imaging systems.
• Understanding of optical and infrared imaging technologies.
• Familiarity with medical device development and regulatory requirements.
• Experience with system engineering, verification, and qualification programs.
• Strong communication and project coordination skills.
• Comfortable working across multiple disciplines in a startup/scaleup environment.
• Passion for developing technology that improves healthcare outcomes.

What We Offer:

• A unique opportunity to develop next-generation medical imaging technology.
• A multidisciplinary role combining optics, electronics and software in healthcare applications.
• Significant responsibility and technical leadership within a fast-growing high-tech company with enthusiastic startup/scaleup culture and motivated colleagues.
• Flexible employment from part-time to full-time.
• Location: The Netherlands.
