Vision
Our vision is to lead the world in infrared technology applications, both by producing innovative new products – and by inventing entirely new industries. That means new ways of thinking, which is why Irisys is a very exciting and fast-moving place to work.
People
If you’re excited by cutting-edge technology, you’ll like Irisys. Some of the brightest electronics engineers in the business work here, continually coming up with new ideas that are revolutionising the way that people live all over the world. From infrared cameras to queue management systems; from advances in healthcare to ways to enable vulnerable people to stay in their homes for longer, we encourage and value creativity. Whether your passion is microchip design or international sales, we’ll enable you to fulfil your potential. We offer every employee a tailor-made structured training and development programme. What’s more, our relatively flat management structure means that everyone’s contribution gets noticed and rewarded.
Locations
Our UK headquarters is based in a light, airy complex of converted farm buildings on the outskirts of Northampton, a few minutes from junction 15a of the M1 and less than an hour from London. There’s plenty of free parking and a subsidised staff restaurant with an excellent range of hot and cold food. We also have a state of the art clean manufacturing facility in central Northampton, and locations in Atlanta, USA, and Berlin, Germany. We have customers all over the world, so there can be excellent opportunities for travel.
Future
Irisys is growing fast. We doubled our revenues in 2010, won the Queen’s Award for Export the same year, and recently recruited our 100th employee. We regularly feature in the Sunday Times Tech Track list of Britain’s fastest growing technology companies, invest a double digit percentage of revenues in R&D, and hold over 70 patents. We’re small enough to retain a ‘village’ feel, yet large enough to be an important global presence. And the sectors in which we operate are expanding rapidly. There’s a very bright future for Irisys – and for the people who work here.
