ESPROS Photonics is an innovative high-tech company with over 50 outstanding employees worldwide. We develop, produce and sell leading-edge opto-electronic micro-sensors for industrial applications. These micro-sensors, produced using the most advanced process technology, set new standards for opto-electronics devices. We have a series of new, innovative products in the development pipeline, which need to be made production-ready as soon as possible. These will be produced in high volume following the ramp-up.

You will be responsible for the design of our electronic hardware within the overall product development process. You will develop the necessary hard- and software to enable our micro-sensors to be characterized, tested and qualified. You will work in close cooperation with our Chip Design and Test Engineering departments.


We are looking for a goal-orientated, communicative individual who possesses a real ‘Can-Do’ spirit and can work independently. You enjoy working in a multi-discipline team, resolving tricky opto-electronic testing problems and are eager to excel in your work. Previous experience in the area of characterization of semiconductor circuits or opto-electronic sensors would be an advantage. If this area of expertise is new to you, you nevertheless possess both the ability and determination to quickly get to grips with interesting yet often complex tasks. You are fluent in both German and English, spoken and written.


We provide the opportunity to play a key role in the shaping of a young, dynamic and rapidly expanding high-tech company.

Head of Test Engineering

M. Sc. or B. Sc. in Electronics or Physics 

We have a series of new, innovative products in the development pipeline, which need to be made production-ready as soon as possible. These will be produced in large numbers following the ramp-up. As Head of Test Engineering, you will assume a key role within the product-development process as the interface between our Chip Design and Production units.

You will establish a team of test engineers and lead them towards clearly defined goals. With this team, you will develop the hardware and software required to test and qualify integrated semiconductor circuits, both at wafer level and as a package. You will work in close cooperation with Chip Design to coordinate all activities, from the initiation of a new product through to the handover to Production. In addition to leading all test-engineering projects, you will also develop hardware/software for functional and parametric tests as well as the qualification of our products. As you will be involved in our development projects at an early stage, you will play a decisive role in designing test concepts. Consequently, you will assume responsibility for ensuring the newly developed products can be tested both efficiently and cost-effectively.


We expect a goal-orientated, communicative individual who possesses a real ‘Can-Do’ spirit and can work independently. You enjoy working in a multi-discipline team, resolving tricky opto-electronic testing problems and are eager to excel in your work. Your detailed knowledge of electronic hardware development will prove crucial in this regard. You are fluent in both German and English, spoken and written.
