Salary: £65,000 - £75,000

An innovative company within Quantum Security are looking for a skilled Image Processing Engineer to join their rapidly growing R&D team,

Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you'll be involved in the full lifecycle of algorithm development - from processing experimental data to building and optimising algorithms that can operate under real-world conditions. If you have a strong background in image processing, optics, and camera technologies, and enjoy working at the intersection of physics and software, I'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

Designing and optimising algorithms to analyse quantum emission signatures and related data.
Collaborating closely with physicists, engineers, and software developers to ensure seamless integration of your work into smartphone applications
Testing and validating algorithms under varied conditions to guarantee robustness and reliability
Analysing data from materials scientists and hardware teams to ground your work in physical reality
Documenting designs and clearly communicating results to development teams
Staying on top of advances in machine learning, optics, and camera tech to keep improving performance
Helping to define experimental setups and data collection processes to support algorithm development

What You'll Need

4+ years of experience developing algorithms in the context of imaging, optical sensing, or spectroscopy
An advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field - or equivalent industry experience
Strong grasp of optical physics or quantum optics, especially in fluorescence and emission analysis
Proficiency with image processing and optimisation tools (Python, MATLAB, etc.)
Familiarity with smartphone camera hardware and sensor data acquisition
A collaborative mindset and experience working with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready code
