Senior Systems Engineer - Ultrasound Technology

Newton Colmore is working with a highly regarded medical technology company in Cambridge, assisting them with their search for a Systems Engineer to work on their latest surgical ultrasound innovation.

The Challenge - Where physics meets surgery;

The organisation works on some of the most technically demanding problems in medical technology - intelligent surgical instruments, embedded sensing systems, robotic-assisted surgery, and real-time intraoperative imaging. Ultrasound sits at the intersection of all of it.

You won't be applying existing solutions, you will be inventing new ones. Projects run from early feasibility through hardware prototyping, firmware, signal processing algorithms, and regulatory sign-off. You will own the ultrasound thread end-to-end in this newly created role.

What you will be working on;

Electronics and transducer architecture.

Lead design and evaluation of ultrasound transducers and the high-speed analogue/digital front-end electronics that drive them - including transmit beamforming, low-noise receive chains, and high-bandwidth ADC integration.

Signal processing and algorithm development

Develop real-time signal processing pipelines - from raw RF data through envelope detection, beamforming, and image reconstruction - with strong software implementation alongside the DSP theory.

Embedded software and system integration

Write firmware and embedded software to control ultrasound hardware, manage data acquisition, and interface with wider surgical system architectures. Comfort across C/C++, Python, and MATLAB is expected.

What you will need for this role;

You'll need a strong grounding across ultrasound systems, with recognised depth in at least one of the areas below ideally. The electronics stack and software implementation are central to this role.

High-speed electronics

Transducer design

Image segmentation

Signal processing

What they can offer you:

The company have invested in created an environment that champions innovation, with both mentoring and autonomy for expert engineers who want to do great work. On offer is a tailored salary, based on a series of factors, as the seniority of the role can be flexible from someone who has just completed a PhD, all the way up to a senior appointment.

This comes with a bonus programme, and a market-leading pension contribution.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Robotics Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Robotics is having a moment that feels qualitatively different from the cycles of hype and disappointment that have characterised the sector in previous decades. The convergence of advances in AI, computer vision, battery technology, and hardware manufacturing has brought robotics to an inflection point — one where the gap between what robots can do in controlled laboratory conditions and what they can do in the unpredictable complexity of the real world is closing faster than at any previous point in the discipline's history. For job seekers, this inflection point is creating a jobs market that is expanding rapidly across a far wider range of industries and role types than robotics has historically occupied. Automotive and manufacturing remain significant employers, but they are now joined by logistics and warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, construction, defence, and the emerging category of humanoid robotics — each generating distinct hiring demand and drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which application areas are scaling from pilot to production, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern robotic systems, and how the definition of a robotics career is evolving beyond the mechanical engineering core toward a much richer intersection of software, AI, and systems engineering. This article breaks down what the UK robotics jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting technology transitions of the coming decade.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.
