Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What we're looking for
Ideally, you’ll have 5–10 years' experience in electronics design, preferably within space, aerospace, defence or another complex electro-mechanical environment.
You should have strong experience with:
- Analogue, digital and power electronics
- Schematic capture and PCB layout using tools such as Altium Designer or Zuken E3
- Hands-on electronics testing and debugging
- PCB manufacturing, soldering/rework and wiring harnesses
- Electronics manufacturing and IPC standards
- Developing products for challenging operational environments
- Taking electronic products through the full development lifecycle
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with EMC testing, RF/telemetry, LabVIEW, SCADA, embedded C, aerospace wiring or environmental testing would be beneficial but isn't essential.
You’ll need to be a UK national and eligible to obtain and maintain UK security clearance/BPSS.
This is a great opportunity for an electronics engineer who enjoys being genuinely hands-on and wants to work on technically challenging hardware across the space and defence sectors.
