Embedded Systems Engineer – FPGA Platform – Oxford – Hybrid

Location: Oxford Area

Working Pattern: Hybrid

Job Type: Permanent

I’m recruiting for an Embedded Systems Engineer to join a growing quantum technology company developing advanced RF sensing and communications systems.

You’ll develop the embedded Linux, control, data-acquisition, and communications platforms underpinning next-generation quantum products.

The Role

  • Develop embedded Linux software for Xilinx FPGA SoCs
  • Build Linux distributions using Yocto or Buildroot
  • Develop BSPs, device trees, and low-level drivers
  • Support board bring-up, integration, and debugging
  • Develop C/C++, Rust, and Python software
  • Integrate FPGAs, microcontrollers, sensors, and communications hardware

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.
