Applications Support Engineer

I'm currently recruiting for an Applications Support Engineer to join an innovative technology business developing advanced metrology and instrumentation solutions for the semiconductor industry.

About the Role

This is a highly technical, customer-facing role combining applications engineering, technical support, instrumentation, testing and troubleshooting, with the opportunity to work on some genuinely cutting-edge technology.

Responsibilities

The role will involve:

  • Providing pre- and post-sales technical support to customers
  • Processing customer samples and delivering product demonstrations and training
  • Installation, setup, testing, debugging and development of scientific instrumentation
  • Supporting customers with data interpretation and technical troubleshooting
  • Working closely with engineering teams to feed customer requirements into future product development
  • Attending trade shows, customer sites and technical events
  • International travel - potentially up to 50% of the role, sometimes at short notice

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.
