Internship - - Milton, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom - Living Optics

Description

At Living Optics, we build hyperspectral cameras.

Our devices access information invisible to human eyes and conventional cameras and allow our customers to do a whole range of things more efficiently from sorting plastics to detecting greenhouse gases and tumours.

We're at the stage where our hard work developing our camera is shifting to supporting our customers using our camera so you will be joining a dedicated team with a broad range of experiences and backgrounds who love a technical challenge.

You will have an impact on our product, our team and our customers.

Last year we ran our first Intern programme and it was a great success so we're thrilled to be doing it again this year.

We are fiercely proud of our talented workforce, whose creativity, tenacity and skills have enabled us to evolve into a successful, well-funded and rapidly growing company in just a few years.

Our headquarters and lab space are at Milton Park, Oxford UK and we are continuing to grow our friendly and diverse global team.

We strive to be an outstanding place to work - by maintaining a positive and inclusive culture, offering competitive salaries and benefits and by encouraging ongoing training and development.

Culture is important to us at Living Optics, and we will ask you at interview about your values and how they align with ours.
