Hardware Engineer – | Hampshire - 1 day a week on site! | Permanent
Some engineering roles keep you busy. Others keep you sharp. This one sits firmly in the second category.
We're working with a Hampshire-based engineering business on a permanent Hardware Engineer hire - a technically demanding role that sits at the intersection of digital design, PCB development, and long-term product integrity.
The Role
You'll be working across the full hardware lifecycle - from FPGA and VHDL design through to PCB layout and into the less glamorous but business-critical world of component obsolescence management. The work is varied, the problems are real, and the output matters.
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.

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.
Day to day, you can expect to be:
- Designing and developing FPGA-based solutions using VHDL
- Creating and reviewing PCB designs in Altium Designer
- Supporting obsolescence investigations and managing end-of-life component strategies
- Collaborating with systems and software engineers to deliver integrated hardware solutions
- Producing technical documentation to a high standard

What We're Looking For
- Proven FPGA design experience with strong VHDL capability
- Hands-on PCB design using Altium Designer
- Exposure to obsolescence management - understanding component lifecycles, finding alternatives, mitigating risk
- A methodical, detail-oriented approach to engineering
- Experience in a regulated or complex engineering environment is advantageous
If you're an FPGA-focused Hardware Engineer looking for your next long-term move, I'd like to hear from you.
