Due to growth and investment this leading development team are seeking a hands-on R&D Physicist to join them, working on a very broad spectrum of projects and products. Application areas might be any of medical devices, consumer electronics, energy, manufacturing, or food science.

As you may imagine, with such an array of possible work, there will be a constant supply of interesting problems for you to pit your wits against, so you will be adaptable and willing to tackle unfamiliar subject matter, picking up new skills as the situation demands.

The work will include a substantial amount of hands-on experimentation as well as modelling and investigation to prove the viability of ideas.
