PhD‑Level Ultrasound Technology Consultant - Cambridge
A prominent medical technology innovator in Cambridge is seeking a PhD‑level ultrasound specialist to help drive the development of next‑generation surgical and interventional devices.
The organisation has a long-standing reputation for transforming complex scientific challenges into commercially successful products and works extensively across healthcare, life sciences and the wider physical sciences.
You would be joining a culture that values curiosity, open collaboration and entrepreneurial thinking.
It is an environment where scientific creativity is encouraged, ideas are shared freely and individuals are given the space to shape projects and influence technical direction.
This position is ideal for someone who wants to play a central role in advancing surgical technology.
The work spans the development of sophisticated medical systems, including robotic surgical platforms and intelligent instruments with integrated sensing, all designed to support clinicians in delivering safer and more effective procedures.
You will take responsibility for high‑impact technical programmes, combining scientific depth with commercial awareness, and you will apply your ultrasound expertise across the full innovation pathway, from early feasibility studies through to preparing products for market.
A key part of the role involves working closely with partner organisations to define technical strategy, strengthen long‑term relationships and deliver meaningful outcomes.
As you progress, you will have opportunities to build your profile within the surgical technology community and contribute to shaping future industry direction.

FPGA Electronics Engineer - Defence - Cambridge
I'm supporting a defence company in Cambridge that works on some of the most challenging engineering problems facing UK defence and national security.
They're looking for an FPGA specialist who enjoys getting into the detail, building solutions from first principles and turning complex ideas into working systems that make a real‑world difference.
You'd be joining a team where engineers, scientists and designers collaborate closely, moving quickly from concept to prototype.
The work is varied, hands‑on and genuinely meaningful, with projects focused on countering emerging technological and cyber threats.
It's the kind of environment where curiosity is encouraged, technical depth is valued and people take pride in solving problems that matter.
The role spans the full development cycle, from requirements capture through to design, implementation, verification and delivery.
You'll be working with modern FPGA toolchains and contributing to projects that often involve DSP, modelling, embedded systems or advanced communications technologies.
Strong experience with VHDL or Verilog is essential, and any exposure to areas such as MATLAB/Simulink, electronics, embedded C/C++, SDRs, radar or communications systems would be a real advantage.
They're open to engineers at different career stages, provided you bring solid fundamentals and a genuine interest in this type of work.
Prior defence experience helps but isn't essential.
The organisation offers a well‑resourced, supportive environment with excellent facilities and a culture that invests in people.
Relocation support is available where appropriate.
Due to the nature of the projects, you'll need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance, and the role isn't open to visa sponsorship.
Interest in this role is expected to be high, so early applications are encouraged.
To discuss the position in more detail, you can contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240.
You can also submit your CV and a member of the team will be in touch to talk through next steps. ....Read more...

An opportunity has opened for an Electronics Engineer to join a specialist technology group based on a modern science park just outside Cambridge.
The work centres on developing advanced electronic systems that contribute directly to the UK's safety and resilience.
Everything here is focused on defensive innovation, and the pace of growth means you'd be stepping into an environment with strong momentum and long‑term investment behind it.
In this role, you'll be involved in projects that move rapidly from early ideas to working prototypes.
You'll work alongside engineers, scientists and designers from a range of backgrounds, shaping concepts, testing approaches and turning complex requirements into practical solutions.
The work covers the full development cycle, from initial system understanding through to design, documentation, hands‑on testing and final delivery.
It's varied, technically stretching and ideal for someone who enjoys solving real‑world engineering challenges.
The team is made up of people who are naturally curious and enjoy pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
Whether you're leading a project or contributing as part of a wider group, you'll be in an environment that encourages collaboration, knowledge‑sharing and continuous development.
It's a place where you can build a long‑term career in high‑end R&D.
You'll bring a strong academic background and experience developing complex electronic systems.
You should be comfortable working across hardware design, schematic capture, PCB layout, board bring‑up and testing, with exposure to areas such as embedded development, FPGA work, DSP, signal processing, high‑speed or RF design, or communications protocols.
The exact mix is flexible — what matters most is sound engineering judgement and the ability to contribute effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
The organisation offers a supportive culture, a well‑equipped campus environment and a comprehensive benefits package.
Relocation support is available where needed, and there's an active social side to the business, from sports groups to creative activities.
Given the nature of the work, existing security clearance is ideal, though the ability to obtain clearance is essential.
Interest in this role is expected to be high, so early applications are encouraged.
