Job description

Physicist – Defence Systems – Cambridge

A recently established and growing defence company, located in Cambridge, is currently seeking a couple of Physicists to contribute to the invention and development of cutting-edge technologies used in various capacities to ensure the security of defence, aerospace, telecommunications, and other sectors where security is of paramount importance.

You will collaborate with a team of experts, including electronics, engineering, design, embedded systems, and other physicists, to develop these systems. Working alongside this expert team will offer you continuous opportunities for skill development.

Given the diverse range of systems and technologies you will work on, we welcome physicists from various fields, such as microfluidics, sensors, optics, acoustics, electromagnetics, thermal physics, and other complex domains. Ideally, you should be proficient in analytical, numerical, and finite element simulations, as well as hands-on engineering physics for building systems.

With a variety of projects and disciplines to engage in, your work will remain engaging and challenging. The company is dedicated to enhancing your skills and knowledge, ensuring you are well-equipped to work on cutting-edge technologies and innovate new systems.

As the world increasingly adopts smart technologies and artificial intelligence devices, you may also have the opportunity to work on Machine Learning and AI technologies. If you have experience or an interest in these fields, it will be advantageous.

Previous experience in defence, aerospace, or telecommunications is not mandatory; we welcome physicists from all sectors.

Given the sectors you will be working in, the ability to obtain Security Clearance is essential. Typically, this requires being a British citizen without a criminal record or having lived and paid taxes in the UK for more than five consecutive years.

In addition to career development and involvement in complex and innovative projects, you will receive an attractive starting salary, regular pay reviews, bonuses, complimentary meals, free parking, a generous company pension, gym membership, wellness programs, healthcare, dental benefits, and other exceptional perks that are competitive with any UK company.

Due to the complex and inventive nature of the work, we anticipate significant interest in this role. If you are interested, we recommend submitting your application now to avoid missing out.

For further information, please do not hesitate to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices Recruitment and Scientific Recruitment Specialist at Newton Colmore, on [phone], or submit an application, and a member of our Newton Colmore team will contact you.
