Principal Physicist - Highly Complex R&D Newton Colmore is working on a principal physicist role with a leading technology company in Cambridge. We are looking for an experienced Physicist with the curiosity to tackle problems that genuinely don't have known answers yet, and the skills to find them. The Scope of the Work This is applied physics in the truest sense. You will take fundamental physical principles and use them to invent, analyse, model, and prototype solutions to some of the hardest problems in UK defence and security. You'll own the full development arc - from initial investigation and computational modelling through to prototype realisation and transfer to manufacture. Previous projects have spanned an unusually broad range of physics domains: Quantum technologies - sensing, PNT, computing, communications Electromagnetics - propagation, penetration, plasma interactions Semiconductors - junction behaviour, logic, thermal effects, sensing Optics - imaging systems, ultrafast lasers, fibre optics, fluorescence Acoustics & sonar - ultrasound, acoustic communications Fluid analysis - particle dispersion, microfluidics, flow Thermal systems - aviation, maritime, materials processes Algorithm design - AI/ML, signal processing, autonomous systems, edge computing No two projects are the same and no two physicists are the same. What they share is a deep grounding in physical principles and an instinct for fin...
