This is a rare opportunity to apply your silicon design expertise to truly cutting-edge technology.

Innovation sits at the core of this organisation, which develops foundational IP for market-leading graphics processors used in next-generation mobile, smart, and connected devices.

As a Staff GPU Hardware Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the design, debug, and optimisation of complex hardware modules, delivering best-in-class performance, power efficiency, and reliability.

You will join a highly skilled engineering team working at the forefront of GPU development. In this role, you will take ownership of sophisticated hardware designs, contribute to architectural decisions, and help drive technical excellence across projects.

What you’ll do

  • Collaborate with design, verification, and validation teams to deliver advanced silicon solutions
  • Define and document detailed micro-architecture specifications and execution plans aligned with project objectives
  • Analyse and optimise complex designs, balancing frequency, area, power, and performance trade-offs
  • Participate in design reviews, providing clear, constructive, and technically sound feedback
  • Maintain and improve the design environment, while tracking, debugging, and resolving design issues
  • Plan, schedule, and deliver assigned work packages to agreed timelines
  • Stay current with emerging tools, methodologies, and best practices in silicon design
  • Mentor graduate engineers and early-career colleagues, supporting their technical development and professional growth

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
