WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?
- Permanent role – full time
- £40k circa
- Monday to Friday working hours (early finish on Friday)
- Long-term career progression within a growing engineering business
- Opportunity to work across a varied product portfolio and technically challenging projects
- Hands-on role offering exposure to product support, NPI, design modifications and manufacturing engineering
- Stable employment within a long-established, quality-driven organisation
- Collaborative team environment with genuine opportunities to influence engineering improvements
- Supportive management and ongoing professional development
THE BUSINESS
We’re working with a long-established UK electronics manufacturer (60+ years in business) who are looking to bring in an Electronics Engineer to strengthen their engineering capability across manufacturing and product lifecycle support. This isn’t a pure design role. In fact, design work is only a small part of the job. Instead, you’ll be working closely with production and engineering teams to keep real-world products running, buildable and reliable. You’ll be joining a stable, long-established manufacturer with a strong engineering culture and a growing workload. This is a chance to step into a role where your engineering input directly affects how products are built, tested and delivered.
THE ROLE
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.
As Electronics Engineer, you will provide practical engineering support across a broad range of electronic products, ensuring designs remain reliable, manufacturable and fully supported throughout their lifecycle. You will incorporate Manufacturing, NPI and Product Support.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Supporting electronic products through manufacture and their full lifecycle
- Solving production and test issues when builds don’t go to plan
- Supporting NPI and getting new products into production
- Handling component obsolescence and sourcing replacements
- Making engineering changes to improve manufacturability
- Fault-finding analogue and digital electronics issues
- Supporting test, validation and root cause analysis
- Working closely with shop floor and engineering teams
THE PERSON
We are looking for an engineer who combines solid technical knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach. You will ideally have:
- Degree qualification in Electronics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline
- Previous experience in an Electronics Engineer or similar engineering position beyond graduate level
- Strong understanding of analogue and digital electronics
- Experience working with microcontrollers and programmable devices such as Microchip, Atmel or similar platforms
- Familiarity with PCB design and engineering software such as EasyPC, KiCad, AutoCAD, SolidWorks or equivalent
- Experience supporting products through manufacture, testing, NPI or product lifecycle activities
- Strong practical fault-finding and problem-solving skills
- Ability to prioritise work and manage multiple engineering tasks effectively
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work collaboratively across engineering and manufacturing teams
- A proactive attitude with the ability to work independently when required

You’ll likely already be working in one of these environments:
- Electronics manufacturing / EMS / contract manufacturing
- Aerospace, defence, oil & gas, ATEX or instrumentation
- Industrial or high-reliability electronics
You’ll be someone who enjoys:
- Practical engineering, not just design work
- Being close to production and real hardware
