Electronics Engineer – Security Clearence - Cambridge
Electronics Engineer - Security Clearence - Cambridge 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.

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. 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.

Regulatory Affairs Specialist – Medical Devices - Cambridge
Regulatory Affairs Specialist - Medical Devices - Cambridge A growing technology and product development organisation in Cambridge is looking to appoint a Regulatory Affairs Specialist to support a wide range of innovative projects. This role sits within a team that works closely with engineers, scientists and designers, helping them bring complex ideas to life while ensuring that every development pathway aligns with global regulatory expectations. The work is varied, fast‑moving and highly collaborative, giving you the chance to contribute to breakthrough technologies across both medical and non‑medical sectors. You will be joining a quality and regulatory function that plays a central role in maintaining and improving the company's management systems. Rather than simply reviewing documents, this team is embedded in project activity, offering practical guidance that shapes product development from the earliest stages. Their work ensures that internal processes remain compliant with international standards and that clients receive the assurance they expect from a world‑class development partner. In this position, you will provide regulatory support across the business, working with multidisciplinary teams and assisting senior members of the QA/RA group with the ongoing operation of the quality management system. The role offers exposure to a wide range of market areas, giving you the opportunity to broaden your regulatory knowledge and deepen your experience across multiple industries. You will be expected to apply your understanding of standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820, helping teams navigate compliance requirements while still enabling innovation. A key part of your work will involve monitoring changes in international regulations and standards, interpreting what they mean for the organisation, and communicating updates to colleagues. You will contribute to internal improvement initiatives, support external audit activities, and help ensure that quality and regulatory processes remain robust, efficient and aligned with business needs. This role requires someone who can balance the freedom needed for creative problem‑solving with the discipline required for regulated product development, finding pragmatic solutions that work in real‑world commercial environments. To succeed, you will need to be a clear thinker who can work independently while supporting and enabling others. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be building relationships across a wide range of stakeholders and taking ownership of initiatives that improve the way the business operates. You should be able to demonstrate experience in developing or contributing to regulatory strategies, interpreting regulatory requirements, and understanding the implications for downstream processes. Knowledge of medical device compliance will be particularly valuable. It is expected that you will hold a relevant degree that has supported your move into a Regulatory Affairs position within the medical devices sector. It will also be important that you have contributed to a medical device that has progressed from early development through to commercial release, giving you a clear understanding of the full lifecycle and the regulatory considerations at each stage. This is an excellent opportunity to join a forward‑thinking organisation where you can develop your expertise, contribute to meaningful innovation and play a key role in shaping how new technologies reach the market. If you have regulatory affairs experience and are looking for a challenging and rewarding role within a growing organisation, then apply now. I expect strong interest in this position, and the company is looking to move quickly, so I would recommend submitting your application immediately or risk missing out. For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240, or make an application and one of our team will be in touch. ....Read more...
