About the Role
Newton Colmore is searching for an experimental physicist who enjoys solving highly complex problems, to join our client in Cambridge.
This is a rare chance to apply deep scientific expertise to problems that genuinely matter — keeping people safe, ranging from airport scanner technology through to objection detection systems. You will use your physics insight and research skills to explore the art of the possible: designing investigations, inventing new approaches, and seeing your ideas realised through rapid prototyping and development. The role spans invention, analysis, computational modelling, and prototype design through to manufacturing transfer.
<u>What makes this role different</u>
No two projects are the same. You'll work with and lead expert multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers, tackling cutting-edge challenges across a uniquely broad range of physics domains.
<u>Here are some of the physics domains you will be working across.</u>
<ul>
<li>Quantum technologies</li>
<li>Sensing, PNT, computing & communications</li>
<li>Electromagnetics</li>
<li>Propagation, plasmas & interaction with electronics</li>
<li>Semiconductor physics</li>
<li>Junction behaviour, logic, thermal & sensing</li>
<li>Optics & photonics</li>
<li>Lasers, imaging, fibre optics & fluorescence</li>
<li>Sonar & acoustics</li>
<li>Ultrasound & acoustic communications</li>
<li>Algorithms & AI</li>
</ul>
<u>About you</u>
You will need to have a track record of academic excellence and hold a relevant postgraduate degree (or equivalent professional experience). Beyond that, the client is genuinely open on experience level and domain knowledge, with a focus on finding great people who love to do great work.
<u>What is on offer.</u>
<ul>
<li>Employee-owned trust — flat structure, real autonomy</li>
<li>High employer pension + monetary bonuses</li>
<li>Private medical insurance for you and your family</li>
<li>25 days holiday + bank holidays</li>
<li>Enhanced family-friendly leave</li>
<li>EV leasing & Cycle to Work scheme</li>
<li>On-site gym + sports & social clubs</li>
<li>Theatre & local sports facility discounts</li>
