Computer Vision Physicist

Applying innovative EO / IR optics solutions to AI hardware technology products

Essex / Cambs; to £75,000 DoE

This expanding tech company is utilising AI within their core hardware products. This extends to the use of computer vision for monitoring and tracking. As their next Computer Vision Physicist, you'll deliver projects from concept through design, prototype to product release.

Key responsibilities would involve the design of electro-optical camera 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

• Degree in Physics or Electronics followed by PhD in applied optics (equivalent industry experience will also be considered).
• Demonstrable experience with electro-optical (EO) system ideally for machine vision. Additional experience with lasers would be desirable.
• Strong understanding of ray tracing, lens design, optical simulations, image processing, and opto-mechanics.
• 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 fo...
