Avionics Software Engineers
Location: London
Salary: £50,000–£90,000 + Equity + Benefits
The Opportunity
We're looking for talented Avionics Software Engineers to join an ambitious engineering team developing next-generation autonomous embedded systems.
This role covers multiple areas of the avionics software stack, and depending on your experience, technical background, and interests, you will specialise in one of three key areas:
- Embedded Linux Engineering
- Distributed Middleware Engineering
- Flight Software Engineering
You’ll work closely with software, hardware, AI, and systems engineers to design, develop, and deploy reliable, high-performance software for complex embedded platforms.
This is an exciting opportunity for engineers who enjoy working close to hardware, solving challenging technical problems, and building robust systems where performance, reliability, and fault tolerance are critical.
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.
