Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop mathematically grounded calibration procedures and models to correct optical deformations and noise in multi-axis imaging instruments. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate optical models into production-ready software for the imaging platform.
Requires a degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, or Electrical Engineering with at least 2 years of experience in image formation and signal processing. Proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with image deconvolution and optical calibration are essential.
About the role
Our MCAM™ platform moves across 9 axes of motion and 5 distinct magnifications, and our users expect the same image quality at NA=0.05 as they do at NA=0.3. Delivering on that promise means treating calibration not as a one-time setup step, but as a rigorous, systematic, and continuously verifiable part of the system itself — one that can scale to support a growing and increasingly diverse list of sample types and use cases.
We are looking for a Computational Imaging Engineer to help us close the gap between the physics of image formation and the images our instruments actually produce. You will work at the intersection of optics, mechatronics, computer vision, and optical systems modeling, tackling questions like: what are the optical properties of the material a user places under the microscope, and can we assume those properties are constant? How do motion-system accuracy and vibration propagate into image blur? How do we separate signal from sensor noise, background, and illumination non-uniformity in a way that holds up across magnifications and sample types?
This is a role for someone who enjoys grounding computer vision and image processing work in the underlying physics and mathematics of the imaging system, and who wants to build the calibration infrastructure that makes our instruments reliable, reproducible, and capable of growing with the science.
