About the Company

Quell is a high-growth British defence and security AI technology start-up developing solutions to counter drone, vehicle, and human threats across the military, civilian and critical national infrastructure sectors.

We are currently seeking an Assembly Technician to support the assembly of precision mechanical, optic & electronic assemblies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assemble mechanical, optical and electronic assemblies according to established documentation and work-flows
  • Perform soldering, wiring, cable harness assembly, and mechanical integration tasks
  • Use tools (hand/power) and precision instruments to assemble components accurately
  • Ensure work is performed with great attention to detail and cleanliness

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.
