Physicist – Defence Systems – Cambridge
A recently established and growing defence company, located in Cambridge, is currently seeking a couple of Physicists to contribute to the invention and development of cutting-edge technologies used in various capacities to ensure the security of defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other sectors where security is of paramount importance.
You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics, engineering, design, embedded systems, and other physicists, to develop these systems. Working alongside this expert team will offer you continuous opportunities for skill development.
Given the diverse range of systems and technologies you will work on, we welcome physicists from various fields, such as microfluidics, sensors, optics, acoustics, electromagnetics, thermal physics, and other complex domains. Ideally, you should be proficient in analytical, numerical, and finite element simulations, as well as hands-on engineering physics for building systems.
With a variety of projects and disciplines to engage in, your work will remain engaging and challenging. The company is dedicated to enhancing your skills and knowledge, ensuring you are well-equipped to work on cutting-edge technologies and innovate new systems.
As the world increasingly adopts smart technologies and artificial intelligence devices, you may also have the opportunity to work on Machine Learning and AI technologies. If you have experience or an interest in these fields, it will be advantageous.
Previous experience in defence, aerospace, or telecommunications is not mandatory; we welcome physicists from all sectors.
Given the sectors you will be working in, the ability to obtain Security Clearance is essential. Typically, this requires being a British citizen without a criminal record or having lived and paid taxes in the UK for more than five consecutive years.
In addition to career development and involvement in complex and innovative projects, you will receive an attractive starting salary, regular pay reviews, bonuses, complimentary meals, free parking, a generous company pension, gym membership, wellness programs, healthcare, dental benefits, and other exceptional perks that are competitive with any UK company.
Due to the complex and inventive nature of the work, we anticipate significant interest in this role. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application now to avoid missing out.
For further information, please do not hesitate to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment and Scientific Recruitment Specialist at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240, or submit an application, and a member of our Newton Colmore team will contact you.

Embedded Software Engineer – Security Clearance – Cambridge
A growing spinout security technology company, based in Cambridge, is currently seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to assist with the development, modification, and enhancement of various security technologies.
Your focus will span across radio, satellite, communications, radar, sensors, and other complex technologies used in the defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other cutting-edge sectors, where you will contribute to the development of new technologies.
You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics design engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists, and other specialists. You won't necessarily need prior experience in the specific sector, as this is trainable, but you should have substantial experience in developing embedded systems using C/C++ programming languages.
This company provides bespoke products and services for clients, ensuring that your projects will always be unique, presenting their own set of problems and challenges to keep you engaged. In addition to client projects, you will be involved in developing new versions of existing technology and improving current versions, offering a diverse and engaging role that will keep you interested for the long term.
While experience in telecommunications, aerospace, scientific, radar, radio, or other complex technologies that involve communication between devices would be ideal, it is not essential. Your experience as an Embedded Software Engineer is more crucial than the specific sector.
Certain roles may require security clearance, typically necessitating a British passport with no criminal record or a history of residing in the UK and paying taxes for several years (also with no criminal record).
This role has arisen due to the company's growth. They take pride in investing in their staff by providing continuous training to support your career development. They have received awards for their commitment to staff development.
In addition to award-winning training, career growth, and varied and unique work, you will receive a competitive starting salary, bonuses, pension contributions, medical insurance, life assurance, free parking, and other excellent benefits.
There are currently several openings for Embedded Software Engineers within the company, so they will consider candidates with different levels of experience, from those early in their careers to senior candidates with years of experience.
Salary will be determined based on experience, and there may be new roles approved in the future. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application now to avoid missing out.
