Electronic Technician – PCBs & Wiring Harnesses | Swindon | UAV/Defence Technology

Location - Swindon
Salary - £40,000

Join a fast-growing European leader in unmanned technology, operating at the cutting edge of Digital, Defence, Security, and Space. This is a mission-driven, multidisciplinary business combining AI, systems engineering, data science, and aerospace technology to protect people, critical infrastructure, and support decision-making in the most demanding environments — at sea, on land, in space, and in cyberspace.

The Role

We're looking for an Electronic Technician to manufacture and test PCBs and wiring harnesses with precision and quality, ensuring correct assembly of electronic components and contributing to the delivery of reliable, high-performance electronic solutions.

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.
