About the Role

The Manufacturing Metrology Group at NPL has a mission to facilitate confidence in measurement data in manufacturing products and processes.

This will involve continuing to evolve the strategy for the group to deliver impactful, high quality research and commercial services.

You will join the group at an exciting time. While the overall strategic direction is clear, there is a need to refine this further and establish more detail in the specific areas – you will be instrumental in shaping our future


About You

We are looking for a scientist with several (a minimum of 5) years of experience in one of the technologies we work in (CMM, Non-contact measurement, image analysis / XCT or Industry

Because you will need to offer scientific leadership across all aspects of the group, you should have an interest in and be open to learning about the other areas. You must be comfortable working with a multidisciplinary team with diverse backgrounds.

This role requires a relevant academic qualification to at least Degree level, ideally Masters or PhD in an Engineering or Science subject.

The Group works extensively with the Manufacturing Industry, and it is important that you demonstrate experience in scoping and delivering projects within or in collaboration with industrial companies and can discuss the impact your work has had on these companies.

Essential Skills

· Commitment to Health, Safety and Quality.

· Experience in writing successful applications for Innovate and / or Horizon projects

· Have experience in leading teams of scientists, although not necessarily in a line management role.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills. You should be able to influence both technical and non-technical audiences, and to build strong relationships with stakeholders.

· Technical business development.

· Proven expertise in one of the key group technical areas.

· Ability to define and deliver on scientific strategy.

· Strong in problem definition and problem solving.

We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.
