Electro Optic Engineer

A well-funded, high-growth Israeli DeepTech company developing advanced optical fiber sensing platforms for real-time monitoring and anomaly detection across critical national infrastructure (power grids, water, energy, and gas utilities).

The company partners with tier-1 international utility providers, national energy authorities, and major municipal bodies globally.

Operating with an elite multidisciplinary engineering team, the organization offers an R&D environment bridging physics, fiber optics, high-speed hardware, and complex signal processing algorithms alongside long-term corporate stability.

The office is located in Tel Aviv adjacent to the train station, operating on a hybrid model with one day working from home.

Role Description-

• Serving as an Electro-Optics Systems Engineer, joining a multidisciplinary R&D team pioneering next-generation Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems for critical infrastructure monitoring.
• Leading electro-optical system design, end-to-end simulations, optical link budget definitions, and system specifications (including noise budget, optical dynamic range, and SNR analysis).
• Leading hands-on laboratory setups, optical bench characterization, electro-optical calibration, and customer site field experiments.
• Scaling existing boutique, high-precision sensing hardware into robust, scalable, high-volume production platforms.
• Serving as the core multidisciplinary bridge between Physics, Electro-Optics, Hardware, Algorithms, and Product teams to translate physical phenomena into high-reliability commercial systems.
• Analyzing experimental test data, designing automated lab test benches, and implementing validation scripts in Python / C++.

Requirements-

• B.Sc. in Physics, Electro-Optics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Systems Engineering – Mandatory
• 4+ years of hands-on systems engineering experience in complex multidisciplinary Electro-Optic platforms – Mandatory
• Deep theoretical and practical understanding of optical systems, laser physics, and electro-optical components – Mandatory
• Strong practical experience in hardware, electronic systems, board-level integration, and electrical testing – Mandatory
• Hands-on programming and scripting capabilities in Python or C++ (or MATLAB) for data analysis, hardware control, and simulation – Mandatory
• Demonstrated background in optical bench measurements, lab instrumentation, optical characterization, and field trial execution – Mandatory
• Experience with Distributed Fiber Sensing (DAS / DTS / DVS), optical interferometry, or coherent detection – Significant Advantage
