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...

(Key skills: DevOps, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, AWS, Terraform, Monitoring & Observability, Automation, Linux, Cloud Platforms, Agile, Continuous Improvement)
Are you a highly experienced DevOps professional who thrives on automating, scaling, and stabilising cloud infrastructure in fast-moving environments? Do you enjoy working across development and operations to improve delivery pipelines, infrastructure reliability and platform performance? If so, this could be your next career move.
Our client, an ambitious international SaaS business expanding in Austria, is seeking a DevOps Engineer to join their cloud and platform team. You’ll play a pivotal role in evolving the company’s infrastructure, build automation, deployment processes and observability to support scalable, resilient services used by clients worldwide.
In this role, you’ll design, implement and manage core DevOps processes and tooling that enable continuous delivery and robust operational practices. You will be responsible for building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, designing and deploying containerised workloads (e.g., Kubernetes), and developing infrastructure as code to support repeatable, secure and auditable environments. You will work closely with software engineering teams to ensure smooth rollouts, rapid deployments, and seamless integration of features and services in production.
You will also focus on monitoring, alerting and system performance, using modern observability platforms to ensure uptime and proactively identify issues before they impact users. Collaboration is central to your success — you’ll partner with developers, security, product owners and other stakeholders to embed DevOps best practices and drive continuous improvement across the delivery lifecycle. A strong automation mindset and deep understanding of cloud architecture will help you optimise infrastructure performance, enhance security, and reduce operational overhead.
The ideal candidate will bring substantial experience in DevOps or SRE-aligned roles, with a proven record of delivering and maintaining large-scale cloud infrastructure. You’ll be comfortable with Linux systems, container orchestration (like Kubernetes), cloud services (particularly AWS), and tools such as Terraform, Jenkins/GitLab CI or equivalent. You’ll also have excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in agile, cross-functional teams.
This is an exciting opportunity to take a senior technical position in a growing SaaS company where your expertise will directly influence platform reliability, scalability and customer satisfaction.

(Key skills: Linux System Engineering, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD Automation, GitOps, Observability, Cloud-Native Platforms, Linux Administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS), Service Discovery, Load Balancing, Helm / ArgoCD, Monitoring & Logging Tools, Platform Reliability, Technical Problem Solving)
Are you excited by building and operating resilient, cloud-native infrastructure where you get both freedom and responsibility to influence the technology stack? Are you someone who thrives on maintaining mission-critical systems, improving observability, and working with Kubernetes and containerised platforms? If so, this is an excellent opportunity to join a SaaS infrastructure team with real impact.
Our client, an international SaaS company expanding its European platform capabilities, is recruiting a Linux Engineer to strengthen their infrastructure engineering team. You will contribute to designing, operating and optimising containerised platforms, automating deployments, ensuring high availability, and empowering the product teams with robust infrastructure services.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for architecting, deploying and running Kubernetes-based environments and responsible for the full lifecycle of these platforms—from designing architecture through to day-to-day operations. You will operate and evolve managed services in areas like web hosting, application services, email delivery, ensuring performance, stability, and secure configuration. You’ll also drive CI/CD pipeline automation, introduce GitOps practices (Helm, ArgoCD), and ensure observability using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. You’ll take ownership for resolving complex incidents, engaging with stakeholders when issues arise, and working closely with internal teams to deliver feature enhancements and system improvements.
You should have substantial experience working in Linux administration (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS) and be comfortable with container technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with service discovery, load balancing, observability tooling (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana), and GitOps workflows will be expected. A methodical mindset, strong analytical skills, ability to remain calm under pressure, and effective communication will be critical. This role will also benefit from prior experience in SaaS or platform environments where uptime, security, and scalability are key.
You’ll be joining a forward-thinking, infrastructure-driven business with a culture that values continuous learning, technical craftsmanship, and scalability. You’ll have the freedom to evaluate new technologies, suggest improvements, and shape how the platform evolves. Hybrid working is supported, allowing you to balance on-site collaboration with remote work.
