Computer Vision Engineer - Graduate Considered in Cambridge

A brilliant opportunity for a Computer Vision Engineer or Master's Graduate to work for an exciting start-up in Saffron Walden, Essex, that is tackling some of the world's most pressing challenges. The company is founded by a team of brilliant Engineers who have already realised success with other start-ups. This offers the chance to work in an environment filled with technological innovation whilst working on cutting-edge tech. You will apply your knowledge in computer vision systems, from initial design through to product launch. This role is open to both experienced Computer Vision Engineers and Master's Grads with relevant academic project experience in Computer Vision.

Our client values those with absolute top academics - therefore, requires a 2.1 or 1st from an internationally renowned university and all A's at A-Level (or international equivalent). Due to the nature of some client projects, you must be willing and eligible to obtain DV Security Clearance. This generally requires a long-term UK residency history (typically 10+ years) and the ability to pass government security vetting. You can join the team and work on other commercial projects while your clearance application is progressing.
