Key Responsibilities

*   Develop functions to query, configure, and manage SPAD sensors.
*   Integrate and maintain communication with sensor firmware.
*   Efficiently read, buffer, and process sensor data streams.
*   Build algorithms for fluorescence lifetime, Raman spectra, diffuse correlation spectroscopy, and time-of-flight data.
*   Design visualization and signal processing tools for sensor data.
*   Expand SDK capabilities with partner APIs.
*   Ensure cross-platform compatibility (Windows and Linux).
*   Implement cloud-based solutions for data processing and management.

## Requirements

**Essential:**

*   5+ years of experience in designing and maintaining production software.
*   Strong programming skills across frontend, backend, and data processing.
*   Proven experience in sensor or hardware-related software development.
*   Proficiency with Git version control.
*   Degree (HNC/HND, undergraduate, or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
*   ⚠ **Right to work in the UK is essential.**

**Desirable:**

*   Knowledge of photon counting, LiDAR, FLIM, spectroscopy, or other imaging technologies.
*   Understanding of system architecture in embedded environments.
*   Familiarity with embedded systems and processors.

Behavioural Competencies

*   **Innovation & Creativity:** Ability to develop novel solutions for SPAD sensor applications.
*   **Collaboration & Teamwork:** Comfortable working across R&D, business development, and customer teams.
*   **Adaptability & Resilience:** Thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
*   **Attention to Detail:** Diligent in testing, documentation, and quality assurance.
*   **Customer Focus:** Dedicated to delivering tailored, customer-driven solutions.
*   **Initiative & Ownership:** Self-motivated with strong accountability.
*   **Effective Communication:** Able to explain complex technical concepts clearly.

## Benefits

What We Offer

*   **Competitive salary & benefits package**
*   **Remote work flexibility**, with occasional in-office collaboration for planning and innovation
*   **Career growth & training opportunities** in advanced photonics and embedded systems
*   **Health & wellbeing support** to help you thrive personally and professionally
*   **Collaborative, innovative culture** where your input makes a real impact
*   **International exposure**, working on projects that influence global imaging technology
*   **Work-life balance**, with flexibility and support to recharge outside of work
