Role: Electronic Engineer
Location: Edinburgh (hybrid)
Salary: £50-60k

Our client is an exciting, fast-growing IoT company building connected hardware products deployed in demanding real-world environments. They're a small, generalist engineering team where everyone gets stuck in across disciplines rather than being siloed, and they're in a market expected to grow significantly over the next decade.

This is a hands-on hardware role. You'll be designing electronic hardware for IoT edge devices, with real ownership from concept through to manufacture.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing embedded electronic hardware for IoT edge systems: microcontrollers, memory, power management, sensors, comms interfaces
  • Producing schematics and PCB layouts, maintaining design files and documentation
  • Selecting and qualifying components against performance, reliability, availability, cost and lifecycle
  • Designing and optimising low-power, battery-powered systems for long-life field deployment
  • Integrating wired and wireless comms interfaces and radio modules
  • Leading prototype bring-up, debugging and board-level fault finding
  • Working with Hardware QA on verification, validation, environmental and compliance testing
  • Supporting manufacturing and supply chain activity, including pilot builds and supplier engagement
  • Contributing to DFT, DFM and DFR initiatives
  • Investigating and resolving hardware issues across development, production and field deployment

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.
