Principal Human Factors Engineer – Implantable Medical Devices - Oxford
We’re partnering with a pioneering medical technology company to recruit a Principal Human Factors Engineer who will shape how clinicians and surgical teams interact with transformative implantable devices. This is a rare opportunity to lead usability engineering across the full product lifecycle, embedding human-centred design into every stage of development and ensuring that systems are safe, effective, and intuitive to use.
The role is based in Oxfordshire and offers hybrid working, with three days on-site including Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Occasional travel to third-party sites across Europe will be required, so a willingness to travel is essential. This is a direct hire with a medical devices company — not a design consultancy.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing and delivering the company’s usability strategy in line with international standards and regulatory frameworks. You’ll lead formative and summative studies in clinical and simulated environments, translating user insights into actionable design inputs and risk management decisions. You’ll collaborate across engineering, clinical, regulatory, and quality teams to embed usability as a guiding design principle, not just a compliance checkbox.
You’ll take ownership of the usability engineering file, contribute to global submissions, and represent human factors in audits, design reviews, and stakeholder presentations. Your work will span cadaver lab studies, system integration testing, and continuous evaluation of user experience across a portfolio of neuromodulation technologies. You’ll also mentor internal teams, manage external partners, and help foster a culture of user advocacy and design excellence.
To succeed in this role, you’ll bring a strong background in human factors engineering for regulated medical devices, ideally with experience in surgical or implantable systems. You’ll be comfortable leading usability studies, navigating international regulatory expectations, and translating complex user needs into clear design requirements. A proactive mindset, excellent communication skills, and a deep empathy for users will be key to your success.
This is more than a technical leadership role — it’s a chance to influence how innovative medical technologies are experienced in real-world clinical settings. If you’re passionate about usability, design, and making a meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Alongside the opportunity to lead impactful work, this role offers a competitive package including shares/equity, life assurance, pension, private healthcare, income protection, and an employer discount scheme — benefits more commonly found in larger organisations.

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.

Principal Usability Engineer – Implantable Medical Devices – Oxford
We are working with a pioneering medical technology company in Oxfordshire to recruit a Principal Usability Engineer who will lead the design and evaluation of intuitive, user-centred implantable devices. This is a rare opportunity to shape how surgical teams and clinicians interact with transformative technologies, ensuring that every touchpoint is purposeful, accessible, and grounded in real-world clinical workflows.
The role is based in Oxfordshire and offers hybrid working, with three days on-site including Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Occasional travel to partner sites across Europe will be required, so a willingness to travel is essential. This is a direct hire with a medical devices company, not a design consultancy.
You will champion usability across the full product lifecycle, from early concept development to post-market evaluation. Working closely with engineering, clinical, and design teams, you will ensure that user needs drive design decisions rather than simply meeting regulatory compliance. Your work will span formative and summative usability studies, interface refinement, and continuous evaluation of user experience across a portfolio of implantable technologies.
You will lead usability studies in clinical and simulated environments, translate user insights into actionable design inputs, and collaborate with industrial designers, software engineers, and systems teams to refine workflows and interactions. You will contribute to usability documentation for regulatory submissions, represent usability in design reviews and stakeholder presentations, and mentor internal teams while managing external partners.
To succeed in this role, you will bring a strong background in usability engineering, UX design, or human-computer interaction within regulated environments. Experience with surgical or implantable medical technologies is highly desirable. You should be confident in leading usability studies, synthesising complex user data into clear design direction, and communicating effectively across multidisciplinary teams. Familiarity with tools such as Axure, Figma, or Adobe XD is beneficial, alongside a proactive mindset and a deep empathy for users.
This is more than a technical leadership position. It is a chance to influence how innovative medical technologies are experienced in real-world clinical settings. You will be joining a company that values design thinking, continuous learning, and meaningful impact.
The role offers a competitive package including shares or equity, life assurance, pension, private healthcare, income protection, and an employer discount scheme—benefits more commonly found in larger organisations.

Embedded Software Engineer – Security Clearance – Cambridge
A growing spinout security technology company, based in Cambridge, is currently seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to assist with the development, modification, and enhancement of various security technologies.
Your focus will span across radio, satellite, communications, radar, sensors, and other complex technologies used in the defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other cutting-edge sectors, where you will contribute to the development of new technologies.
You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics design engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, physicists, and other specialists. You won't necessarily need prior experience in the specific sector, as this is trainable, but you should have substantial experience in developing embedded systems using C/C++ programming languages.
This company provides bespoke products and services for clients, ensuring that your projects will always be unique, presenting their own set of problems and challenges to keep you engaged. In addition to client projects, you will be involved in developing new versions of existing technology and improving current versions, offering a diverse and engaging role that will keep you interested for the long term.
While experience in telecommunications, aerospace, scientific, radar, radio, or other complex technologies that involve communication between devices would be ideal, it is not essential. Your experience as an Embedded Software Engineer is more crucial than the specific sector.
Certain roles may require security clearance, typically necessitating a British passport with no criminal record or a history of residing in the UK and paying taxes for several years (also with no criminal record).
This role has arisen due to the company's growth. They take pride in investing in their staff by providing continuous training to support your career development. They have received awards for their commitment to staff development.
In addition to award-winning training, career growth, and varied and unique work, you will receive a competitive starting salary, bonuses, pension contributions, medical insurance, life assurance, free parking, and other excellent benefits.
There are currently several openings for Embedded Software Engineers within the company, so they will consider candidates with different levels of experience, from those early in their careers to senior candidates with years of experience.
Salary will be determined based on experience, and there may be new roles approved in the future. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application now to avoid missing out.

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.

Graduate Internal Auditor – Internal Audit Management & Consultancy - Cannock
A great opportunity has become available for a graduate in Internal Audit Management & Consultancy. You will be joining a growing Internal Auditing business in Cannock, a company with a successful track record of developing junior Internal Auditors into more senior positions with more responsibility, which will help develop your career.
To begin with, you will need to be in the office daily, but once you have been fully trained, the role will become hybrid, meaning you will only need to be in the office a couple of days a week.
Specifically, we are looking for you to hold an MSc in Internal Audit Management & Consultancy. We are open to candidates who have recently graduated or individuals who have moved into a role but have perhaps not been offered the development they expected in an Internal Auditor role. If you are a recent graduate, any placements during your education would be advantageous.
The company will develop your career, primarily focusing on Internal Auditing for local government, charity, and public services organisations. Previous individuals who have joined the business have gone on to develop into more senior roles.
In addition, you will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, the ability to work from home (once trained), and a benefits package. You will be given a career track that will include obtaining industry qualifications that will help advance your career in the future.
I anticipate significant interest in this role, so I suggest you make an application now or miss out.
