Experimental Physicist – Instrument Design
Newton Colmore is searching for an experimental physicist who enjoys solving highly complex problems, to join our client in Cambridge.
This is a rare chance to apply deep scientific expertise to problems that genuinely matter — keeping people safe, ranging from airport scanner technology through to objection detection systems. You will use your physics insight and research skills to explore the art of the possible: designing investigations, inventing new approaches, and seeing your ideas realised through rapid prototyping and development. The role spans invention, analysis, computational modelling, and prototype design through to manufacturing transfer.
What makes this role different
No two projects are the same. You'll work with and lead expert multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers, tackling cutting-edge challenges across a uniquely broad range of physics domains.
Here are some of the physics domains you will be working across.
Quantum technologies
Sensing, PNT, computing & communications
Electromagnetics
Propagation, plasmas & interaction with electronics
Semiconductor physics
Junction behaviour, logic, thermal & sensing
Optics & photonics
Lasers, imaging, fibre optics & fluorescence
Sonar & acoustics
Ultrasound & acoustic communications
Algorithms & AI
About you
You will need to have a track record of academic excellence and hold a relevant postgraduate degree (or equivalent professional experience). Beyond that, the client is genuinely open on experience level and domain knowledge, with a focus on finding great people who love to do great work.
What is on offer.
Employee-owned trust — flat structure, real autonomy
High employer pension + monetary bonuses
Private medical insurance for you and your family
25 days holiday + bank holidays
Enhanced family-friendly leave
EV leasing & Cycle to Work scheme
On-site gym + sports & social clubs
Theatre & local sports facility discounts
Candidates must be eligible for UK security clearance.

Principal Physicist – New Inventions
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.

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.
