Applications Engineer – Graduate Electronic Engineers Considered
A brilliant opportunity for a bright and inquisitive Applications Engineer or Electronics graduate to join a leading technology company developing specialist hardware and software solutions for the electronics industry. You’ll work on a continual variety of short, technically challenging projects, getting to grips with electronic designs created by other engineers and determining how best to test and program them.
This is an ideal role for someone who genuinely enjoys electronics, investigating unfamiliar technology and solving complex engineering problems. Full training will be provided, so curiosity, technical aptitude and a demonstrable interest in electronics are more important than arriving with highly specialised knowledge.
Location
Cambridge, UK – 5 days a week on site
Salary
£30,000 – £35,000 per annum + excellent benefits
Requirements for Applications Engineer – Graduate Electronic Engineers Considered
- A strong academic background with a degree in Electronic Engineering, Electronics & Computer Science, or a closely related technical subject, and good A Level results.

- Good foundational understanding of digital electronics, ideally including some exposure to FPGAs, embedded microprocessors and/or device drivers.
- Familiarity with at least one high-level programming language.
- An inquisitive mind and strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand unfamiliar electronic designs, schematics and technical documentation.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work directly with customers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Please note this is not primarily an FPGA or PCB design role – projects are typically short, challenging and varied, focused on understanding, testing and programming existing third-party electronic designs rather than designing new hardware from scratch. Given the nature of some customers & projects, you must be in a position to obtain security clearance.
