Image Processing Engineer

Image Processing Engineer
Location: Lancashire (Hybrid)
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
