  • Conduct advanced analytics for photometry, radiometry, spectral intensity, illuminance and luminance.
  • Conduct optical sensor test and simulate sensor vision.
  • Perform qualitative sensor design.
  • Simulate and assess camera, lenses, raw materials, that goes to space environment.
  • Generate automatically the geometry reaching the targeted specifications; e.g light guides, optical lenses and surfaces.
  • Facilitate communication between product development teams.
  • Design, analyse and compare the performance of several technical options to validate the compliance against our custom criteria and improve the perceived quality.
  • Model thermal radiation directly from the body temperature for vision and detection systems, far infrared extension.
  • Extend the optical simulation wavelength range.
  • Evaluate post-processing algorithm at sensor level such as white balance, signal perturbation.
  • Create intermediate lighting occurrence for faster simulation.


ENVIRONMENT:This position will operate in the following areas of the organization[ROCKET FUEL] MISSION INTELLIGENCE DIVISION. Innovation, powering speed and space exploration in science systems.

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.

Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Platforms to Learn Now

Quantum computing is no longer a future concept—it’s a fast-growing industry with real-world applications in materials science, cryptography, optimisation, and drug discovery. As the UK doubles down on its National Quantum Strategy, demand for quantum computing talent is surging across academia, startups, and enterprise R&D. Welcome to the Quantum Computing Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the programming languages, frameworks, libraries & platforms shaping the UK quantum jobs market. Whether you’re transitioning from physics, software engineering or data science, this radar shows you what to learn to stay ahead.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK: 2025 Guide to Hidden Roles

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.
