£50 - 65/hour
Glasgow | Hybrid
Our client is seeking an experienced Electronics Engineer to join their team on a contract basis, supporting the continued development of a next-generation diagnostic instrumentation platform.
This role will focus on electronic hardware design, verification, and design improvement activities across an established product platform. Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you will take ownership of analogue circuit design modifications, schematic and PCB updates, verification testing, and EMC-focused design improvements. The position requires a hands-on engineer who is comfortable working across the full product development lifecycle, from design changes and PCB implementation through to laboratory-based verification and debugging.
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.
