Lead Imaging Developer
Location: Evesham, Worcestershire
Salary: £50,000 to £55,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Working Pattern: Hybrid
Avanti Recruitment are working with a globally recognised forensic technology company who design and manufacture specialist imaging equipment used in criminal investigations worldwide.
This is a rare opportunity to join an engineering-led business whose products are deployed by forensic laboratories and law enforcement agencies across more than 140 countries.
If you enjoy solving complex imaging problems and working with real hardware rather than purely theoretical software, this role offers something genuinely different.
The Role
As a Lead Imaging Developer, you will join a multi-skilled team of software, hardware, firmware and optical engineers, contributing across the full product lifecycle from prototype to production systems.
You will be working on advanced imaging software integrated directly with cameras and forensic devices. This includes distortion correction, calibration, enhancement routines, and optimisation of image pipelines.
This is not a web development role. You will be building software that interacts with physical devices and real-world constraints.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Developing and enhancing imaging pipelines in C++
• Integrating imaging routines into .NET based applications
• Working closely with hardware and optical engineers
• Implementing distortion correction and calibration techniques
• Contributing to the design of new forensic imaging products
• Supporting both new product development and legacy system evolution
Essential Skills
• Strong C++ experience
• C# and .NET (Core / Framework)
• Experience working with imaging pipelines, computer vision or image processing
• Experience integrating software with hardware or external devices
• Comfortable working in a collaborative engineering environment
Desirable Experience
• OpenCV or similar libraries
• Machine vision or camera interfacing
• GPU acceleration
• Optical systems knowledge
• Avalonia or WPF
• Interest in photography or forensic imaging
About You
You may come from imaging, video processing, machine vision, gaming engine development, industrial camera systems, or similar technical environments.
You will be proactive, technically curious, and comfortable tackling non-linear engineering challenges.
On-site collaboration is required due to the hardware-integrated nature of the work, so candidates must be able to commute to Evesham regularly.
Salary & Benefits
• £50,000 to £55,000 basic salary
• Pension scheme
• Life assurance
• Private medical cover including dental
• 28 days holiday plus birthday leave, long-service days and Christmas shutdown
• Relocation support where required
• Social events and team activities
Why Apply?
• Work on technology that helps solve real crimes
• Join a stable, specialist engineering business
• Be part of a collaborative and technically strong team
• Build products with real-world impact, not just lines of code
