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.
We’re looking for someone with a solid academic foundation in physics, engineering, or a related discipline, and hands-on experience in optical design and analysis. You should be confident using industry-standard tools and have a track record of delivering robust solutions in regulated environments. Experience in medical devices is highly desirable, but not essential if you bring strong transferable skills and a passion for healthcare innovation.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving technical challenges, mentoring junior colleagues, and working closely with clients to bring ideas to life. You’ll be encouraged to explore new approaches, contribute to system-level thinking, and help shape the future of medical technology.
In return, you’ll receive a competitive salary, annual bonus, private healthcare, generous pension contributions, and access to a wide range of lifestyle and professional development benefits.
For more information, please contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and Drug Discovery Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240. Alternatively, submit your application and a member of our team will be in touch. Please note that without a CV, we can only provide limited information.....Read more...
A global technology organisation is looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer to develop and enhance a range of data-driven applications, cloud platforms and intelligent software tools.
This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role combining backend development, cloud infrastructure, web technologies and emerging AI capabilities. Youll help build applications that improve business processes, support decision-making and deliver better user experiences across a range of teams.
Working within a small, collaborative engineering team, youll contribute to technical design decisions, develop new features and help evolve existing applications into scalable, reliable production platforms. The role offers exposure to a broad technology stack and the opportunity to work on practical AI integrations alongside established software engineering projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop and maintain applications across the full stack, from backend services and APIs to user-facing interfaces.
- Build production software using Python, TypeScript and modern web technologies.
- Develop cloud-based applications and services using AWS and other cloud platforms.
- Integrate applications with data pipelines, enterprise systems and external services.
- Build AI-powered features, including LLM integrations, prompt orchestration and tools that connect AI agents with data and services.
- Contribute to architectural and technical decisions, evaluating frameworks, tools and implementation approaches.
- Develop proof-of-concepts to assess new technologies and demonstrate potential solutions.
- Investigate and resolve production issues, optimise application performance and improve software reliability.
- Design efficient data processing and integration patterns for applications handling large datasets.
- Implement authentication and authorisation mechanisms for secure enterprise applications.
- Support infrastructure deployment, Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipeline development.
- Collaborate with engineering, product, data and business stakeholders to define requirements and deliver new features.
- Help scale successful applications into robust, maintainable platforms suitable for wider adoption.
Essential Requirements
- Strong Python development experience, including building production applications.
- Practical experience with AWS services such as Lambda, ECS/Fargate, S3 and API Gateway.
- Experience deploying and managing containerised applications using Docker.
- Good SQL skills and experience working with data warehouses.
- Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform.
- Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD workflows.
- Experience contributing to the design and implementation of multi-component software systems.
- An interest in using AI-assisted development tools and building AI-enabled software features.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a cross-functional team.
Desirable Experience
- Modern web development frameworks, particularly Next.js, React and TypeScript.
- Google Cloud Platform services, especially BigQuery.
- Enterprise authentication and authorisation, including SSO, SAML, OAuth and role-based access control.
- Developing and optimising applications that process high volumes of data.
- Experience with B2B SaaS platforms, CRM systems or business productivity tools.
- Designing and automating ETL and data integration pipelines at scale.
- Supporting the evolution of early-stage applications into enterprise-grade platforms.
- Agile development methodologies and tools such as Jira.
