Optical Systems Engineer – Medical Devices - Cambridge
We are working with a leading Medical Devices company in Cambridge to recruit an Optical Systems Engineer who will play a key role in the development of industry disrupting and lifesaving/improving Medical Technologies.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll be designing and integrating optical systems into complex medical technologies. From early feasibility through to product launch, you’ll be involved in every stage of development, helping to shape devices that improve diagnostics, treatment, and patient outcomes across a range of clinical applications.
You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists, collaborating on projects that demand precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of how optics interact with mechanical, electronic, and biological systems. Your work will span simulation, prototyping, testing, and refinement, with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and real-world usability.

R&D Consultant – Drug Delivery Device Design – Cambridge
We are seeking an R&D Consultant to lead the design and development of next‑generation Drug Delivery Devices, working at the intersection of technical innovation, human‑centred design and strategic consultancy.
Based in Cambridge, you will guide multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists and designers as they create industry‑defining medical technologies. Your focus will be on shaping early‑stage concepts, driving rigorous R&D activities, and ensuring that device architectures, mechanisms and usability considerations translate into robust, manufacturable solutions.
Alongside leading programmes, you will remain deeply hands‑on throughout project delivery. You will contribute to concept generation, prototyping, experimental design, verification planning and risk management, while also supporting clients in navigating technical decisions and development pathways. Experience mentoring or developing junior colleagues will be highly valued, as you will play a key role in strengthening the team’s technical capability.
You will have begun your career in the Medical Devices sector as an engineer or designer directly involved in the creation of new devices from concept through development. You may have progressed into a consultancy, technical leadership or client‑facing role where you shaped project direction, advised stakeholders and translated complex technical challenges into actionable development strategies.
This position centres on delivering high‑value expertise rather than a physical product. Key strengths include R&D leadership, device design, programme management, client engagement and a strong understanding of Drug Delivery technologies and regulatory expectations for combination products.
The organisation offers an excellent salary and benefits package, enabling you to focus on impactful, technically challenging work. Benefits include enhanced pension, life assurance, medical insurance and a range of additional perks associated with a well‑established, innovation‑driven company.
Candidates I have previously placed with this organisation have enjoyed exceptional technical growth and career progression. Several have even gone on to lead spin‑out ventures — a rare and exciting opportunity for those with entrepreneurial ambition.
I anticipate strong interest in this position, so if your background aligns with the above, I recommend applying promptly.
