Recent PhD Graduate - Complex Imaging Research

Are you a recent or upcoming PhD graduate who is interested in the development of new medical technology? Newton Colmore is working with a medical devices company who is looking for a talented scientist/engineer to work on next generation imaging technology.

As a scientist/engineer in this company, you will be working on highly complex imaging research, involving image segmentation hardware, signal processing techniques, and transducer design. This role will be at the front end of research and development and will give you an opportunity to work on brand new ideas and run with them through the experimental phase and readying the product for launch. This will include building your own prototypes, experiments, test rigs, and more, as you make meaningful progress through the development lifecycle.

The company will offer you support and mentoring as you make your transition from academia into industry and you will be joining a well-established team of inventors, who will provide everything you need to make a success of this role.

This is a great opportunity to join a company that loves to innovate and push technological boundaries.

To be considered for this role we are looking for people who have either recently finished a PhD or post-doc role which focused on imaging technology. The company are considered people from different backgrounds, as long as you have a passion for high impact technology. Any knowledge of image segmentation, transducer design, electronics or metrology technology is highly desirable.

In return for your hard work the company offer a highly competitive salary, with a bonus, and comprehensive benefits package as well providing excellent career progression opportunities and the chance to work on novel technologies.

For more information make a confidential application now and a consultant at Newton Colmore will be in touch with more details.

Newton Colmore is a specialist recruitment consultancy operating within the medical devices, Scientific Engineering, Scientific Software, Robotics, Science, Electronics Design, New Product Design, Human Factors, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance and Field Service Engineering sectors throughout Europe and the US

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

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

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
