Here at Living Optics, we are developing pioneering hyperspectral cameras for the mass market. Our devices access information invisible to human eyes and conventional cameras, enabling discoveries ranging from plastics sorting to greenhouse gas detection and tumor detection. Our unique approach to hyperspectral imaging combines patented optical methods, built-from-scratch neural networks, and a small dose of pure maths. We’re well on our way to radically democratize and miniaturize hyperspectral systems, which have long been confined to research labs. Since being spun out from the Physics Department of the University of Oxford in 2020, we have been developing the complex engineering and software applications ahead of our product launch in 2023. In September 2022, we announced our Series A £20M investment from https://oxfordscienceenterprises.com/, https://www.foresightwilliams.co.uk/, https://www.oxfordinvestmentconsultants.com/, and https://octopusventures.com/. We have a remote-friendly, global team. We are excited to have recently moved into brand new headquarters and lab space at Milton Park, Oxford, and are continuing to grow our team of currently c30 people. At Living Optics, 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. We strive to be an outstanding place to work – by maintaining a positive and inclusive culture, offering competitive salaries and benefits, encouraging ongoing training and development, plus, of course, plenty of other perks.
