A fast-growing international engineering company is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the development of next-generation industrial systems designed to operate in some of the world's most demanding environments.
Working within a multidisciplinary team spanning Europe and the Americas, you will play a key role in the design, testing and validation of sophisticated electronic systems used in high-performance industrial equipment. This is an opportunity to contribute to breakthrough technologies with real-world impact while solving complex engineering challenges.
The Role
As an Electrical Engineer, you will take ownership of electronic hardware development from concept through validation and manufacturing support. The successful candidate will combine strong design expertise with hands-on testing and troubleshooting experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design electronic hardware, including analog and digital circuits and embedded control systems.
- Produce system architectures, schematics, wiring diagrams and detailed electrical designs using industry-standard CAD tools.
- Develop and execute environmental and reliability test programmes, including temperature, vibration and stress testing.
- Perform prototype bring-up, functional testing and performance evaluation.
- Diagnose and resolve faults at both component and system levels using oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analysers and other lab equipment.
- Support field operations teams by providing technical expertise and troubleshooting assistance.
- Define validation requirements and develop comprehensive test plans, procedures and test equipment.
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, systems, firmware and manufacturing engineers throughout the product lifecycle.
- Promote a strong Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) culture across all activities.
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.
