Sorry to hear about that, don't know what to recommend....except maybe the medical sector?
There is one thing that always needs equipment and that's the medical sector. They do have some exciting battlefield remote surgery units being developed, not sure if you could get into that.
There are quite a few medical robotic systems around, surely there must be some way in for you?
Makes me feel a little less likely to quit my job, even though I have been close to doing that for the last 6 months. Not having a good time of it, affecting my health, quite stressful etc.
