Imaging Systems Engineer

The Role

We areseekinga curious,hands-onand motivated individual to join us as ourImagingSystemsEngineer,toplay a key role in the development, validation, and deployment of our surgical vision platform, spanning benchtop experimentation, data acquisition, system validation, and real-world system support.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of optical imaging, instrumentation, and scientific software, supporting system validation and ensuring that our cameras, scopes, and accessories are characterised, calibrated, andvalidatedto the standardsrequiredfor surgical use. You will contribute to the design and execution of experiments for system-level characterisation, alongside the acquisition of high-quality reference datasets to support algorithm development and performance benchmarking. A particular focus of your work will be characterising the spectral performance and image quality of our surgical vision system. In addition, you will help translate benchtop performance into real-world settings by supporting system deployment, troubleshooting, and technical interactions with clinical and external partners.

Working closely with ourresearchscientistsandsystem integration engineers, you will plan and executebenchtop experiments, build theautomation that makes those experimentsrobust andrepeatable, and produce the analyses that turn raw measurements into actionable engineering decisions.

Your work will be foundational to the reliability and performance of our intraoperative imaging platform, supporting bothongoing maintenance of deployedclinicalsystemsand thedevelopment of next-generation hardware.You will contribute to the technical records and performance baselines that underpin our regulatory submissions and post-market surveillance activities.

Key Responsibilities

Optical& SpectralCharacterisation

• Plan, set up, and execute optical and imaging benchtop tests for new camera platforms, light sources, scopes, and accessories.

• Collect opticaland spectralperformance data andproduce theanalyses to interpret them, referencing definedperformance metrics and acceptance criteria.

• Maintainaccurateand up-to-date technical documentation of benchtop procedures, characterisation results, andcomponentperformance baselines, to the standardrequiredfor regulatory submissions.

Acquisition Automation & Integration

• Design and implement automated data-acquisition routines in Python (or similar) for repeatable benchtop and integration testing, including scripted control of cameras, light sources, motion stages, and spectrometers via their respective hardware interfaces and SDKs.

• Develop andmaintainscripts that linkmultiple instrumentsinto reproducible, well-documentedmeasurement workflows.

• Contribute to internal tooling that lowers the friction of routine characterisation, calibration,maintenance, and verification work across the team.

Calibration & Maintenance Cycle

• Take ownership of routine calibration,maintenanceandquality controlacrossdeployed clinical systems, including management of calibration schedules, traceability to reference standards, and clear pass/fail records.

• Support the development and formalisation of calibration and maintenance procedures as the number of deployed systems grows.

• Investigateanomalies and perform root-cause analysis on imaging performance issuesidentifiedin the lab or in the field.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closelywithresearchscientists,system integration engineers, software developers,clinical applicationspecialistsandtheclinical development team members tobringlearnings from the bench into product and pipeline improvements.

• Translate findings from characterisation and testing into clear, actionable input for engineering and product decisions.

• Contribute to test documentation andevidencepackages in support of verification, validation, and regulatory submissions.

About You

You are ahands-on, methodical engineerwho enjoys workingin thelab,assemblingoptics-basedrigsand writingscriptsthat makes lab work repeatable. You are comfortable bridging hardware and software, enjoyingwiring up instrumentation, scripting acquisition pipelines, and analysing the resulting data.

You take pride inwell-characterised systems, well-documented procedures, and measurements that other people can rely on,including in regulated contexts where the quality of your records matters as much as the quality of your data.
