Electronics Engineer – Piezoelectronics – New Product Development – Cambridge
A growing Scientific Engineering organisation is currently seeking an Electronics Engineer to assist in the product development of new piezoelectronics technologies.
You will collaborate with a team of mechanical design engineers, software engineers, and scientists, making teamwork crucial. In this role, you will be the sole electronics specialist, so confidence in your abilities is essential.
Your responsibilities will include electronics design and PCB layout for the new piezoelectronics devices, as well as writing Embedded C software and using other software languages.
While having experience in piezoelectronics would be ideal, it is not a strict requirement. However, we do prefer candidates with experience in highly regulated fields such as Medical Devices, Biotechnology, Scientific Engineering, Pharmatech, or other scientific domains.
While working on cutting-edge technologies, you will also enjoy an excellent starting salary, a generous pension, annual bonuses, private medical cover, life assurance, and other benefits typically associated with larger organisations.
Given the expected high level of interest in this role, we recommend submitting your application promptly if you are interested. We are looking for someone to start relatively soon, though we understand that you may have a notice period.
The interview process will be swift, commencing with a video interview and progressing to an in-person interview. Part of the interview may involve a tour of their state-of-the-art facilities, which are currently being expanded to stay at the forefront of technological advances.
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 get in touch with you.

Electronics Engineer Consultant – Security Clearance – Cambridge
A new design consultancy, based in Cambridge, are currently looking for a Electronics Engineer Consultant to add to the team of experienced experts, specifically with a focus on security cleared projects.
Although this is a new design consultancy, they have the backing of larger companies meaning you still have the job security of working for a large company. You will also have benefits including pension, share purchase schemes, healthcare, life assurance and other excellent benefits not normally available to smaller organisations.
We are looking for an Electronics Engineer who has ideally worked on MOD, Security Clearance or other sensitive technologies. Due to the nature of consultancy services, your electronics experience could be across a number of fields such as RF Engineering, Microwave Electronics, Analogue Electronics, Sensors Technologies, PCB Electronics or other complex electronics design.
It will also be ideal if you have specific Firmware, Embedded or other software experience.
Due to the nature of work, you must already hold or be able to obtain security clearance.
Apart from the benefits, you will be rewarded with an excellent salary, career opportunities and a continued skills training to keep you at the forefront of technologies.
This is a rare opportunity to be involved with a design consultancy at the ground level, meaning future career development will be more likely than with other consultancies or companies. Due to this, I’m expecting a lot of interest in this role. If you are interested in the role, apply now or risk missing out.
For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices recruitment and Scientific recruitment specialists Newton Colmore Consulting, on +44 121 268 2240 or make an application and one of our team at Newton Colmore Consulting will contact you.
