Electronics Engineer
Location: Manchester
Salary: Up to £46,000 + Benefits
The Role
A position is now available for an experienced Electronics Engineer to join an engineering team working on the development of a new range of industry-leading instruments and devices. Our client is an established R&D-focused business, with a stellar reputation built on providing cutting-edge, industry-leading products for the last 30+ years.
This role suits an Electronics Engineer with a relevant degree qualification and solid hands-on industry experience, comfortable taking ownership of design work across analogue and digital circuit design, PCB layout, circuit prototyping, and test.
This role will be ideal for an Electronics Engineer who enjoys working across a range of electronics disciplines, has a keen eye for detail, and is comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will be working in a small team, so can expect plenty of variety in the role, along with the opportunity to take real ownership of projects and support the development of less experienced engineers as the team grows.
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.
