Join a leading defence technology company – Embedded Software Engineer, Stevenage
A leading defence technology organisation is looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join a multidisciplinary team developing advanced seeker systems.
This is a hands-on role covering the full software lifecycle, from requirements, architecture and design through to implementation, verification and testing. You’ll work closely with hardware and firmware engineers on complex real-time systems, with opportunities to work directly with specialist hardware and test equipment in the lab.
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.
