About the Role
We are an early-stage drone-autonomy startup looking for a skilled maker in the Birmingham area to help design, 3D print, and assemble the physical side of our aircraft.
This is an occasional, hourly consultancy role, ideal for a freelancer or experienced tinkerer looking for flexible, hands-on hardware projects. We move fast, so we need someone who can turn concepts into flight-ready parts quickly.
🛠️ What You’ll Do
- Design and 3D print custom mounts, cases, and housings for flight controllers and sensors (and supply the raw CAD files).
- Build and assemble multirotor and fixed-wing builds, including custom electronics fitting and foam cutting.
- Repair, rebuild, and optimize existing aircraft.
- Turn rough briefs into practical, flight-ready hardware solutions without needing step-by-step instructions.
- Work from your own studio and drop finished builds off with us in Birmingham.
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.
🎯 What We’re Looking For

- Local to Birmingham (or easy access) for regular part drop-offs.
