Symetrica specializes in the detection and identification of radioisotopes for Security Applications. We work with prime contractors and government agencies to design, develop, test and deploy detection equipment for use by law enforcement personnel, customs officers, the emergency services, military personnel and first responders.

With over 40 years of combined experience, Symetrica systems rely on patented, proprietary detection technology to deliver un-rivalled performance. Our Discovery Technology® isotope detection and identification technology, manufactured in the USA, is included in systems designed for Homeland Security and marketed worldwide. In RadSeeker, a new handheld isotope identification system approved by the DNDO for production deployment, our technology has passed extensive government testing at multiple locations throughout the U.S.

Symetrica also has modelling and prototyping capabilities that draw on extensive experience in gamma-ray spectroscopy and imaging. This provides us with an efficient way to optimize designs and provide a proof of capability in new applications.

Our solutions include a new Helium-3 free neutron detection system for Radiation Portal Monitors and multiple applications in security screening, mass transit and event management.

Following continued success we are expanding in both MA and in the UK. We are currently actively looking for a Business Development Manager, a Senior Detection Physicist and Engineering/Service Support. In the UK vacancies exist for Senior Electronic Engineers, a Mechanical Engineer/Product Designer and a Senior Software Engineer with GUI development experience. More information on these career opportunities can be found here.

Symetrica moves to a new site in the UK with a new radiation portal test facility, new dedicated engineering design facilities and extended office space in order to support strategic growth objectives in the Homeland Security Market. The new facility, which is just two miles from The University of Southampton Science Park where Symetrica has grown from a team of five to over thirty worldwide, provides additional capabilities for all aspects of the business.       Read more.
