Photonics engineering for defense, space, and avionics platforms
DAS Photonics designs and manufactures photonic subsystems for defense electronics, avionics, and space payloads—replacing conventional RF and electronic components with fiber-optic solutions that cut size, weight, and power consumption. The company is scaling rapidly (high project growth, active hiring across engineering and leadership roles) while managing the operational constraints of military and space programs: radiation hardness, ECSS compliance, and reliability assurance in mission-critical hardware.
DAS Photonics is a Spanish photonics manufacturer founded in 2005, headquartered in Valencia. The company operates across the full product lifecycle—design, fabrication, integration, and testing—for photonic subsystems deployed in electronic warfare (ESM/ELINT, ECM, COMINT), avionics, spacecraft payloads, and specialized optical cabling. Their technical depth (over 50 engineers, doctors, and technicians) enables custom solutions tailored to platform integrators' specifications. Active projects include functional and environmental testing for space missions, radiation analysis, and full design-cycle integration work. The technology stack reflects hardware-focused engineering: LabVIEW and MATLAB for signal processing, Altium Designer and KiCad for PCB design, with standard IT infrastructure (Active Directory, Linux, Windows, Microsoft Project, Jira).
