Medical Devices Mechanical Engineer - SolidWorks - Cambridge

A growing Medical Devices group is currently seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to assist in the development of life-saving Medical Devices. Based in South Cambridgeshire, you will utilize SolidWorks for the CAD design of new Medical Devices.

You will collaborate with inventors, physicists, engineers, and scientists to create these life-saving medical devices, and your CAD design skills will be crucial in the development of these innovative Medical Devices.

Ideally, your past or current experience would involve developing medical devices to ISO 13485 standards. However, if your experience lies in CAD design for the life sciences, pharmaceuticals, scientific instrumentation, or wearable tech sectors, we would still like to hear from you.

This role will not be solely computer-based. We require you to have a hands-on engineering element to your mechanical engineering skills, particularly for tasks such as jig assembly, testing, instrument usage, and other essential skills for prototyping and testing the new technologies you will develop.

Knowledge of manufacturing techniques will be valuable, as you will use this knowledge when designing to ensure that the products not only function but can also be manufactured.

While a relevant degree is expected, industry experience of at least a few years will be more crucial. Thus, we welcome applications from individuals who have learned on the job, even without holding a degree.

This company offers an excellent starting salary, a pension plan, bonuses, share schemes, and other benefits typically associated with a blue-chip company.

Due to the expected high level of interest in this role, if you possess the required background, we recommend applying now to avoid missing out.

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

Newton Colmore Consulting is a specialist recruitment company within the Medical Devices, Scientific Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, Scientific Software, Robotics, Science, Electronics Design, New Product Design, Human Factors, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, and Field Service Engineering sectors.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
