Simulation & Modelling Engineer - Cambridge - Cutting‑Edge Technology Projects
I'm supporting a growing engineering team in Cambridge who are looking to bring in an experienced Simulation & Modelling Engineer to work on a range of technically challenging, concept‑driven projects.
This is a role for someone who enjoys diving into complex systems, understanding how they behave, and turning that insight into robust models that guide real‑world engineering decisions.
You'll be working closely with multidisciplinary teams made up of physicists, engineers, mathematicians and designers, contributing to early‑stage ideas, shaping system behaviour, and helping to turn concepts into functioning prototypes.
The work is fast‑paced, varied, and ideal for someone who thrives on solving difficult problems with a mix of analytical thinking and hands‑on engineering.
The position centres around building and refining mathematical models using MATLAB and Simulink, analysing system interactions, and supporting the development of new technologies.
You'll draw on your background in physics, electronics, mathematics or a related discipline, and you'll bring industry experience that allows you to approach challenges with both rigour and creativity.
Experience within defence is helpful but absolutely not essential — strong fundamentals and curiosity matter more.
You'll be involved in model‑based systems engineering, developing physics‑driven models, shaping system architectures, and contributing to test environments and code reviews.
Any exposure to hardware‑in‑the‑loop, DSP, radar signal processing or embedded code generation would be a welcome bonus, but the team is open‑minded and supportive of people who want to broaden their skillset.
The organisation is continuing to scale, offering a genuinely collaborative environment with modern labs, a flat structure, and the freedom to contribute ideas from day one.
You'll be surrounded by people who enjoy pushing boundaries, sharing knowledge, and working on technology that has real‑world impact.
Strong benefits, professional development opportunities, and a culture built around trust and autonomy are all part of the package.
Due to the nature of the work, you will need to be eligible for UK security clearance.
If this sounds like the kind of challenge you've been looking for, apply now or risk missing out.
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...

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.

Territory Manager - Manchester - Orthopaedic Sales - North West
This is a high‑impact opportunity for an experienced orthopaedics professional to take command of a well‑established extremities and trauma portfolio across the North West.
The territory is mature, the demand is real, and the company is moving quickly — which is why they're looking for someone who can step in with confidence and immediately make their mark.
You'll be joining a clinically driven organisation known for its agility, technical depth and unwavering support for surgical teams.
This is not a role weighed down by layers of process.
It's built for someone who thrives in a high‑autonomy environment, who can manage complex clinical relationships with authority, and who wants the freedom to run their territory like a business in its own right.
You'll be backed by a leadership team that values initiative, clinical credibility and entrepreneurial thinking.
Your day will be shaped by the theatre.
You'll be the technical partner surgeons rely on during foot and ankle trauma procedures, the person they trust to guide them through complex cases, and the face of a portfolio that already has strong traction in the region.
Alongside this, you'll be driving the commercial strategy — protecting established business, uncovering new opportunities, and converting interest into long‑term growth.
You'll move confidently through hospitals, building deep relationships with surgeons, theatre managers, procurement teams and clinical leads, always with an eye on the competitive landscape and where the next win will come from.
You'll also take ownership of product evaluations, lead conversions from first conversation through to procurement approval, and deliver high‑quality training sessions for scrub teams and nursing staff.
Your ability to read the room, communicate clearly and stay calm under pressure will be central to your success.
To excel here, you'll already have at least three years of experience in orthopaedic sales or advanced clinical theatre support, ideally within trauma, extremities or biologics.
You'll be completely at home in the operating theatre and able to command respect through technical knowledge and assured communication.
Commercially, you'll understand how to win in a competitive market — from tendering and procurement to territory planning and strategic account development.
Resilience, self‑motivation and a genuine appetite for unlocking new accounts are essential, as is a full UK driving licence and the willingness to travel extensively across the region.
In return, you'll receive an excellent starting salary, a company car, phone, laptop, healthcare, income protection, pension and a suite of additional benefits.
The company has also recently restructured internally to create clear, transparent progression pathways — something that sets them apart in a sector where career development is often left to chance.
If this feels like the challenge you've been waiting for, now is the moment to act.
Opportunities at this level move quickly, and waiting could mean missing out.
To discuss the role in more detail, 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 guide you through the next steps. ....Read more...
