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.
