Alfen Recruitment
Park Hall Road Unit B01, Reading
£30,000 - 66,000
Requirements
Must:
We are looking for candidates with strong C++ and Python development skills in Linux environments. You should have hands-on experience with Video4Linux (V4L2) for camera and image capture, as well as knowledge of HID integration for input and output hardware. Experience using PCSC for smart card communication, ideally with e-passports, is essential. Practical experience with OpenCV for image processing and computer vision, along with GUI development experience using GTK, is also required. Strong debugging and profiling skills in Linux, familiarity with device drivers, USB interfaces, and low-level hardware interactions are crucial. Additionally, you should be comfortable using Git and build systems like Make or CMake.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will develop and maintain Linux-based software for passport scanning devices. You will implement image acquisition and processing functionality using Video4Linux (V4L2) and integrate with human interface devices such as buttons, LEDs, and sensors. Managing smart card interactions with PCSC for e-passport data reading will be part of your responsibilities. You will design and implement GUI components using GTK, optimize performance for real-time image capture and processing, and troubleshoot hardware and software integration issues in a Linux environment. Furthermore, you will document technical designs, APIs, and user guides, while working collaboratively with hardware, QA, and support teams.
Description
While previous experience developing software for passport readers, ID scanners, or similar embedded devices is desirable, knowledge of ICAO standards and e-passport technologies such as MRZ and RFID chip access will be a plus. We are excited to find a talented Linux Software Engineer who is eager to contribute to the development of innovative solutions in the field of passport scanning technology.
