Communications Systems Engineer

Systems Engineer – Communications

Location: Bristol

Salary: Circa £60,000 (depending on experience) Working Model: Hybrid – 2 to 3 days per week on-site

About the Role

An excellent opportunity has become available for a Systems Engineer to join a leading defence engineering organisation, specialising in developing next-generation communications capabilities for highly advanced defence programmes.

You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, helping to design and deliver complex communication systems that support mission-critical applications. This role offers exposure to technically challenging projects, working alongside specialists across systems, software, and hardware engineering while contributing throughout the system development lifecycle.

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.
