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...
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.
To discuss this opportunity further, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240. Alternatively, submit your CV and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss next steps.....Read more...
