Join a global semiconductor leader – Embedded Cryptography Engineer, Glasgow

A global semiconductor technology company is expanding its security engineering team and is looking for an Embedded Cryptography Engineer to develop state-of-the-art cryptographic software protecting products across automotive, payment, identification, IoT and edge computing applications.

This is a highly technical role focused on embedded cryptography, security countermeasures and low-level software development, working closely with security architects, firmware and OS teams, hardware engineers and internal evaluation teams. You’ll have the opportunity to work across both established and emerging cryptographic technologies, including Post-Quantum Cryptography.

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.
