Electronics Technician

We’re looking for an experienced Electronics Technician to join an innovative engineering team working on the development of new technology and prototype hardware.

This is a highly hands-on position covering electronics assembly, prototype build, wiring, testing, equipment maintenance, and laboratory management.

You’ll be working closely with engineers across different disciplines, helping turn designs into working hardware and ensuring the equipment, components, and processes needed to support development are all in place.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Managing and maintaining an engineering laboratory, ensuring equipment is operational, safe, and appropriately calibrated.
  • Building and assembling electronic prototypes and test equipment from drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation.
  • Carrying out fine-pitch hand soldering, PCB assembly, and board rework.
  • Setting up and operating small-scale SMD pick-and-place equipment.
  • Wiring electronic assemblies, prototypes, and test rigs.
  • Carrying out basic testing and troubleshooting of assembled hardware.
  • Sourcing and ordering components, tools, and equipment required for prototype development.
  • Managing component and equipment inventory.
  • Maintaining equipment calibration records and arranging calibration where required.
  • Maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing laboratory and assembly equipment.
  • Helping develop and improve laboratory processes and procedures.
  • Ensuring all work is carried out in accordance with relevant health and safety procedures.
  • Working closely with engineers to identify and resolve technical issues.

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.
