As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will have significant impact on our multidisciplinary R&D projects, grow with us as we venture into new technologies, and contribute to the connected devices line of products throughout both discovery and delivery. You will design, develop, debug, and optimize robust, production-ready firmware for resource-constrained, low-power IoT devices.
Responsibilities
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.
