A pioneering semiconductor start-up is developing a new generation of high-performance RISC-V processors targeting real-time compute and AI/ML applications. With a focus on scalable multicore architectures and next-generation intelligent systems, the company is building advanced silicon solutions for demanding embedded and edge-compute environments.
As part of its early engineering team, the company is looking for a Graduate ASIC Design Engineer to contribute to the development of complex digital hardware systems from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join an ambitious, technically driven organisation at an early stage and work alongside highly experienced engineers across architecture, ASIC design, verification, FPGA and system-level development.
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.
