INTERNSHIP - Product Engineer - Immobileyes

Product Engineer / Manager Job Description

About Us

Immobileyes is a start-up developing a new laser-based security device aimed at multiple markets including home / commercial security, law enforcement and the military. The innovative technology uses multiple low power lasers to cause temporary visual disruption, giving users a new tool to deter intruders and potentially aggressive suspects from causing harm. A handheld unit is being planned (to be launched in 2022) with drone and wall-mounted versions in the future. Immobileyes is a Kent-based, Company currently housed inside AlphaMicron (a technology R&D company with a 22-year track record of innovating for the US Air Force and the developers and makers of the world’s first electronically switchable eyewear).

Our ground-breaking laser technology has been described by DoD technology scouts as “unique” and something that the military, law enforcement and Homeland Security can use “Right Now” and is poised to up-end the traditional security model of detection and response by adding INTERVENTION before Police arrive. As a non-lethal, it is safer compared to other options currently used.
