Electronics Engineering Consultant | Cambridgeshire (On site)
Salary: DOE
Want to work on a different technical challenge every few months?
I’m working with a growing technology consultancy in Cambridgeshire that develops cutting edge solutions for defence and national security clients. They’re looking for Electronics Engineering Consultants to design and develop new technology across a wide range of projects, from early concept through to working hardware.
This role suits a strong engineer who enjoys variety, likes working directly with clients and wants to see their ideas turned into real products.
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.
