Description
As a highly successful leading-edge product development and technology services company, we have been involved in several diverse and exciting electromechanical system development projects including a rapidly manufactured ventilator system for the UK government, virus detection technologies, advanced agricultural machinery, surgical robotics, novel drink dispensing technology, and a next generation radiotherapy system.
Innovation is a key driver across our development projects, resulting in cutting-edge, elegant, and creative solutions that improve people’s lives and the world we live in.
This role is an opportunity to work within highly talented multi-disciplinary project teams; to use your creativity and technical knowledge to develop best-in-class technology solutions for our clients; with the added satisfaction of seeing your finished designs launched on the market.
Key Responsibilities
- Design high-quality analogue and digital circuits for client projects at all stages within the product development lifecycle, from concept feasibility through to manufacture.
- Contribute to the electronics hardware development within multidisciplinary projects; understand how electronic requirements are derived from the system architecture, in collaboration with software, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers.
- Interact with our clients to plan projects, identify and formalise design requirements, implement, test, and ultimately hand over finished designs.
- Drive integration, issue resolution, and verification activities at hardware and subsystem level.
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.
