Senior Scientist (Image Processing / Optical Physics)

Location

Our science team benefits from being in the office together. This role requires 2-4 days per week in our Lancaster University Office.

About the Role

As a Senior Scientist (Image Processing / Optical Physics), you will develop, test, and optimise algorithms essential to the Q-ID authentication process. Your work will directly contribute to the effectiveness and reliability of smartphone-based authentication by precisely measuring fluorescence and quantum emission signatures from Q-ID tags. This position requires a deep understanding of optics, quantum emission phenomena, camera sensor technologies, and robust algorithmic approaches. You will collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of physicists, engineers, software developers, and product specialists to translate complex physical phenomena into effective and efficient smartphone-compatible algorithms.

In this role you will have the opportunity to shape a groundbreaking quantum tech...
