The posting

Company Description

TTP is an employee-owned technology and product development consultancy with a 40-year track record of partnering with ambitious clients to solve complex challenges and bring innovative, commercially successful solutions to market.

We invent, design, and develop impactful products and technologies across industries – from healthcare and life science to energy and communications – working at the intersection of engineering, physical science, and biology.

Our culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas, and technical collaboration, while giving you the freedom to do your best work.

Job Description

Lead the development of breakthrough optical technologies for ophthalmology and advanced surgical applications. Working within TTP's Advanced Surgical team, you'll apply expertise in optics, photonics and imaging systems to develop innovative medical devices, diagnostic platforms and surgical technologies from concept through commercialisation while working alongside world-class scientists and engineers.

You’ll play a pivotal role in our Advanced Surgical team developing transformative medical technologies for the eyecare market and beyond, such as next generation diagnostic systems, surgical tools and lenses.

While your background will be in engineering or physics, with core expertise in optical systems, your role will be diverse. From blank sheet to manufacture, you will be key in advancing our work in the eyecare space leading technical workstreams and projects. You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams – including physicists, electronics and mechanical engineers, software developers, and human factors specialists – and work with clients ranging from dynamic start-ups to global medtech and pharma companies.

Your role will be underpinned by a strong curiosity and technical understanding transforming you into a technical authority that demonstrates TTP’s credibility in this space. You will also play a key role in the interactions with our clients by leveraging a combination of commercial curiosity and a deep technical understanding to help identify and close opportunities and to deepen client relationships.

You will also have opportunities to apply your skills beyond your home team contributing to projects across TTP’s wider Health Tech and multi-sector portfolio.

Qualifications

We’re seeking a technically brilliant and creative problem-solver who thrives in a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment. We're looking for candidates who want to impact the industry both commercially and technically; those who don't just solve problems - but who seek them out, thrive on them, and elevate those around them while doing so.

You will:

  • have a strong academic background – a strong Master’s degree in a physical science or engineering discipline and a PhD, or equivalent industry experience, in photonics, optical physics, laser systems or optical design – and hands-on practical experience.
  • be proactive and self-starting, with a strong sense of personal responsibility and a drive to make things happen.
  • be collaborative and emotionally intelligent, able to build trust, influence stakeholders, energise those around you, and communicate complex technical ideas with clarity, empathy, and precision, regardless of your audience's background.
  • be strategic and systems-minded, able to see the bigger picture, anticipate challenges and opportunities while considering the commercial aspects of technology product development, and navigate ambiguity while keeping priorities sharp and focused.

Not essential, but desirable:

  • Skilled in architecting, prototyping, and testing optical systems, with experience in design of imaging or OCT systems being especially useful.
  • Experience in regulated sectors, such as medical devices or healthcare, eyecare or ophthalmic devices would be excellent.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with clients, colleagues, and suppliers.

Additional Information

TTP operates from an award-winning campus in green surroundings in Melbourn, just south of Cambridge.

We offer a generous benefits package including:

  • Annual profit-related bonus
  • Virtual shares that reward you with a stake in TTP Group’s long-term success
  • Employer pension contribution of 10% of salary
  • Private medical insurance for employees and dependants

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
