Based in offices in Saffron Walden, this expanding tech company are utilising AI within their core products. This extends to the use of computer vision for monitoring and tracking. As their next Computer Vision Physicist / Engineer, you’ll deliver projects from concept through design, prototype to product release.
Key responsibilities would involve the design of optical systems (lenses, mirrors, sensors) and optimising them for VIS, NIR and FIR application. This would include simulations (using OpticStudio or similar), component selection, prototype device testing and relevant process documentation.
Requirements
1. Degree in Physics or Electronics followed by PhD in applied optics (equivalent industry experience will also be considered).
2. Demonstrable experience with optical system ideally for machine vision. Additional experience with lasers would be desirable.
3. Strong understanding of ray tracing, lens design, optical simulations, image processing, electro-optical systems and opto-mechanics.
4. Experience with optical test methodology and validation.
The role is based fully onsite. Due to technologies having applications for military uses, this role is subject to the incumbent being security cleared (British national residing in the UK for the past 5 years).
This is a timely opportunity to join this growing company early in their journey, and take ownership of significant technology development projects they are working on.
