Contract Embedded Software, FPGA & Hardware Engineers (Multiple Openings)
Location: Derbyshire - Fully Onsite
Contract Length: Initial 6-12 Months - Longer-Term Potential
Day Rate: Flexible / Negotiable DOE
Security Clearance: Current SC or DV Required
We're working with an established UK technology and engineering business delivering complex systems and solutions for customers operating within highly regulated and secure environments.
Following continued project demand, they're looking to bring in a number of experienced contractors across Embedded Software, FPGA and Electronics / Hardware Engineering.
These are initial 6-12 month assignments, with potential for longer-term work based on ongoing project requirements and deliverables.
Current Contract Opportunities
- Embedded Software Engineers
- FPGA Engineers
- Electronics / Hardware Engineers
We're particularly interested in experienced engineers who can join projects and contribute quickly within complex, high-integrity engineering environments.
What You'll Do
Depending on your area of expertise and individual project, responsibilities could include:
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.
- Design, develop and maintain embedded software for complex engineering systems.
- Develop low-level software using C / C++ within embedded environments.
- Design and develop FPGA solutions using VHDL / Verilog.
- Design, develop and debug digital and electronic hardware.
- Work across the engineering lifecycle from requirements and design through to integration, verification and test.
- Develop solutions for high-integrity and secure environments.
- Debug and resolve complex software, FPGA and hardware issues.
- Produce appropriate technical and engineering documentation.
- Work alongside multidisciplinary Software, FPGA, Hardware, Systems and Test teams.
- Contribute to defined project requirements, milestones and engineering deliverables.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience within Defence, Aerospace, National Security or other highly regulated engineering environments would be particularly relevant.
Security Clearance
To be considered you must already hold current SC or DV Security Clearance. Due to the secure nature of these projects, we are unable to consider contractors who do not currently hold the required level of clearance.
Why Consider These Contracts?
This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging projects within a specialist engineering environment, contributing to complex systems where security, quality and engineering standards are critical.
With multiple projects and a strong pipeline of work, there is also high potential for successful contractors to remain engaged beyond the initial assignment.
If you're an experienced Embedded Software Engineer, FPGA Engineer or Hardware Engineer, currently hold SC or DV clearance, and are looking for your next contract, we'd be keen to hear from you.
