PhD or Post‑Doc Business Development Consultant - Medical Devices - Cambridge
If you love being close to innovation and want to help shape the next generation of Medical Device technologies, this role puts you right at the front.
You'll be working with organisations developing breakthrough products, solving complex engineering and scientific challenges, and turning early ideas into solutions that genuinely improve lives.
This is consultative, relationship‑led business development.
You'll bring technical credibility into early conversations, quickly understanding a client's challenge and showing where your organisation can add real value.
It suits someone who enjoys digging into the science, asking sharp questions and helping clients see the path forward.
You'll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams working on advanced surgical technologies, wearable and implantable devices, and next‑generation diagnostics.
You'll help shape compelling proposals, build long‑term partnerships and support clients from concept through to commercially successful outcomes.
Projects range from implantable sensors that give people with diabetes greater freedom, to laser‑based systems protecting eyesight, to non‑invasive technologies targeting cancer cells.
You'll be out in the market building trusted relationships, meeting clients face‑to‑face and developing a strong network across the Medical Devices sector.
Internally, you'll work closely with scientists, engineers and project leaders, deepening your technical awareness and helping connect the right expertise to the right opportunity.
You'll grow a healthy pipeline, strengthen existing partnerships, negotiate commercial agreements and contribute to go‑to‑market strategy.
To thrive, you'll bring a strong academic background in a relevant scientific or engineering discipline, ideally at post‑doc level.
Experience securing funding for your own research is a real advantage — that ability to write persuasive, technically grounded proposals will translate directly into success here.
You'll be curious, commercially aware and quick to grasp new concepts.
You'll communicate with clarity and empathy, build trust easily and be comfortable travelling for meetings when needed.
You'll be joining a supportive, forward‑thinking environment with a strong culture of collaboration and technical excellence.

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...
