Principal Physicist – Highly Complex R&D
Newton Colmore is working on a principal physicist role with a leading technology company in Cambridge.
We are looking for an experienced Physicist with the curiosity to tackle problems that genuinely don't have known answers yet, and the skills to find them.
The Scope of the Work
This is applied physics in the truest sense. You will take fundamental physical principles and use them to invent, analyse, model, and prototype solutions to some of the hardest problems in UK defence and security. You'll own the full development arc — from initial investigation and computational modelling through to prototype realisation and transfer to manufacture.
Previous projects have spanned an unusually broad range of physics domains:
Quantum technologies — sensing, PNT, computing, communications
Electromagnetics — propagation, penetration, plasma interactions
Semiconductors — junction behaviour, logic, thermal effects, sensing
Optics — imaging systems, ultrafast lasers, fibre optics, fluorescence
Acoustics & sonar — ultrasound, acoustic communications
Fluid analysis — particle dispersion, microfluidics, flow
Thermal systems — aviation, maritime, materials processes
Algorithm design — AI/ML, signal processing, autonomous systems, edge computing
No two projects are the same and no two physicists are the same. What they share is a deep grounding in physical principles and an instinct for finding elegant solutions to complex problems.
What You Can Bring
You will have a demonstrable track record of applying fundamental physics to real-world challenges, coupled with strong academics. We're open to candidates from any sector — academic, industrial, or government — and any physics specialism, experimental or computational.
What matters most is rigour, curiosity, and the ability to move from first principles to working prototype.
What is on Offer
The company offer tailored salaries and packages to attract the best possible candidates. They have carefully curated an environment that allows their people to do great work, combining trust, guidance, autonomy and collaboration. For more junior engineers, mentoring programmes are a key aspect of their business too.
