Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive High-Value Sales Growth: Secure major contracts in sectors such as defence, aerospace, industrial automation, transport, medical, energy (including oil and gas), and critical infrastructure.

  • Develop Strategic Sales Plans: Execute a multi-sector growth strategy targeting OEMs, systems integrators, and engineering-led organisations.

  • Expand OEM & Integrator Partnerships: Build long-term relationships with Tier 1 OEMs, system integrators, and project-based engineering firms.

  • Market Expansion & Competitive Analysis: Identify and penetrate growth markets including industrial IoT, cyber-physical systems, energy, transport, and medical tech.

  • Close Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Deals: Navigate long, technical sales cycles and multi-party negotiations.

  • Align Sales with Technical & Operations Teams: Ensure solutions meet both commercial and technical expectations.

  • Own Sales Metrics & Pipeline Management: Use CRM systems (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce) to manage pipeline, forecasting, and sales reporting.

    Who You Are:

  • Experienced Technical Sales Professional: Minimum 5 years of experience selling hardware-based solutions such as rugged computing, connectivity systems, embedded hardware, or engineered technical solutions.

  • Sector-Aware Sales Expert: Proven success in industries such as defence, automation, medical technology, energy (incl. oil & gas), transport, aviation, or other critical infrastructure.

  • Solution-Oriented Hunter: Demonstrated ability to identify, engage, and close large-scale, multi-stakeholder sales (£1M+ typical deal size).

  • Hardware & Systems Fluent: Comfortably sells in environments involving rack-integrated computing, smart edge tech, AI, IoT, embedded software, or high-spec engineering solutions.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Medical Technology—Transforming Healthcare for the Future

Medical technology—or medtech—stands at the forefront of redefining how we diagnose, treat, and manage illness. From MRI scanners that peer deep into our bodies to personalised therapy platforms that predict disease risk, medtech solutions already shape modern healthcare. Yet as the global population grows and health needs become more complex, conventional computational methods face staggering challenges in analysing massive biological datasets, simulating intricate disease pathways, and accelerating drug discovery. This is where quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) converge to spark a new wave of quantum-enhanced AI—unlocking innovation in medical technology like never before. Why does quantum matter for medtech? Traditional supercomputers rely on binary bits (0 or 1). Quantum computers harness qubits, capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously (superposition) and becoming interlinked (entanglement). The result? Potential exponential or quadratic speed-ups for certain algorithms and simulations—particularly those that involve high-dimensional data, complex protein folding, or combinatorial searches for novel drugs. In parallel, AI—especially machine learning—has already revolutionised medical imaging, diagnostics, and patient monitoring. However, standard AI approaches often choke on the vast computational loads inherent to genome analysis, multi-omics data, or advanced robotics. Quantum computing promises to offload or accelerate some of these computationally intense tasks, enabling more powerful models, faster results, and the potential to discover new correlations hidden within enormous datasets. In this article, we will: Examine the current landscape of medical technology, highlighting computational barriers that hamper progress. Demystify quantum computing and its fundamental differences from classical systems. Explore how quantum-enhanced AI can reshape medtech applications—from drug discovery to diagnostics and beyond. Dive into real-world pilot projects and potential breakthroughs on the horizon. Discuss challenges (like hardware maturity, data encoding, ethics, and patient privacy) and how the industry might overcome them. Highlight career paths, roles, and skill sets that could define the next generation of medtech professionals. If you’re involved in medical device development, healthcare data analysis, or simply curious about the future of medicine, read on. Quantum-enhanced AI has the potential to supercharge healthcare innovation, improving patient outcomes while driving exciting new career opportunities.
