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.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
