[Don Jackson]

Cambridge Research Systems Ltd. has created a new career opportunity for
an Applications Engineer to join our Vision Science Division. 

 

Background

 

Cambridge Research Systems was founded in 1985 by Professor John Robson
FRS and Tom Robson, his son, to design and manufacture equipment for
Vision Scientists. Now the market leader in this field, we remain
dedicated to scientific and technical excellence in our growing range of
solutions for both basic and clinical research.

 

The Post

 

This post would suit a recent graduate in engineering, physics, computer
science, or a related scientific field - or - An MSc or PhD in a vision
science related discipline - who has proven programming skills using C
and MATLAB and is looking for a career that will build on their academic
training, and reward enthusiasm and drive for success.

 

What you must possess are good organizational skills and the desire to
work as part of a small team in a commercial environment.

 

Based at our UK office in Rochester, Kent, duties will include: 

 

- Actively extending our existing Toolbox for MATLAB to make it the
standard software interface for controlling our equipment

- Developing MATLAB programs using GUIDE to provide a complete suite of
ready-to-run classic vision science experiments

- Writing technical application notes, documentation and training guides
to show how to use the Toolbox for a wide variety of vision science
applications

- Providing first-line technical and programming support for our range
of software and hardware products. 

- Assisting with ad-hoc R&D projects to backup and support the
capabilities of our development team

 

Although primarily office based there will be opportunities for
occasional travel both in the UK and abroad working with our customers
and attending academic meetings to both participate and update technical
skills. 

 

The post is ideal for someone who enjoys solving a wide range of
research problems and wants to help our customers to get the most from
our equipment.
