Casting & Quality Engineer

The Mission

At our Rotterdam headquarters, we are perfecting a unique manufacturing process for prescription Augmented Reality (AR) lenses. We don’t just design; we build. As a Casting Engineer, you will be a core member of our production team. You won’t just be executing a process; you’ll be owning it, refining it, and helping us solve the physical puzzles of high-end wearable tech.

‍
What You'll Be Doing

‍
This is a high-impact, hands-on role where you manage the bridge between design and physical reality.
‍
- Precision Casting: Execute the casting process for prescription AR lenses using our proprietary resin systems, as part of our production team.
- Design Improvements: Beyond casting, you will work with in-house prototyping tools. You’ll be operating 3D printers and laser cutters to create jigs, fixtures, and tools that improve our workflow.
- Quality Control: Perform measurement and analysis of our products. You help the team make sure our global customers receive only the best quality lenses.
‍

What We’re Looking For

‍
- The Prototyping Mindset: You are comfortable with hands-on engineering. If you’ve spent time in a makerspace or lab with 3D printers and laser cutters, you’ll fit right in. 3D CAD modeling experience is a plus (Fusion 360 or similar)
- Punctuality & Precision: You understand that in optics, the details are the product. You take pride in high-standard, repeatable work.
- Ownership: You don’t just wait for instructions; you see a way to make a tool better and you take the initiative to fix it.
- Student Side Job: Ideally a 2nd/3rd year BSc or a Master's student looking to apply their technical knowledge to real-world hardware.
‍

Why Join AddOptics?

‍
- Be a Core Contributor: In our lean team, your work is visible and vital. You’ll work directly with senior engineers and have a real impact on our manufacturing success.
- Deep-Tech & Rapid Prototyping: Gain experience with the hardware and processes powering the next generation of AR devices.
- Competitive Pay & Flexibility: We offer a solid hourly wage and a schedule that respects your exam periods and deadlines.
