✈️ Embedded Software Engineer (2 Positions) - Build Technology That Actually Flies
Ever spent hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator tweaking your approach into Innsbruck? Know your VORs from your NDBs? Or maybe you just love building low-level software that interfaces with real hardware rather than making buttons change colour on a UI (joke, there's little to no UI).
If that sounds like you, keep reading...
We're looking for two Embedded Software Engineers to join a growing engineering team developing technology used in aviation and communications environments. We're particularly keen to hear from:
- Junior Engineers with around 2+ years' experience
- Mid-level Engineers with up to 5-6 years' experience
- Flight sim enthusiasts, aviation geeks, or actual pilots (bonus points, not a requirement!)
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Working On
This is proper engineering.
No endless front-end development. No pixel-perfect UI debates. No arguing whether the button should be blue or slightly bluer.
Instead, you'll be developing low-level embedded software that drives real-world systems and hardware.
Projects may involve:
- ✅ Embedded software development
- ✅ Hardware-integrated systems
- ✅ Desktop applications and supporting tools
- ✅ Test frameworks and software validation
- ✅ Audio and intercom systems
- ✅ DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
What We're Looking For
You'll ideally have experience with:
- Embedded software development
- C/C++ or similar low-level languages
- Developing software for hardware-driven products
- Test automation or test frameworks
- Desktop application development (nice to have)

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Not Essential
- Being able to land a 737 in a crosswind (although we'd be impressed)
Why Aviation Enthusiasts Tend To Love This Role
The best engineers in this team often have a genuine interest in aviation and human-machine interaction. Whether you:
- Hold a PPL
- Dream of getting one
- Have a flight simulator setup that costs more than your first car
...you'll probably find the products and challenges genuinely interesting.
Salary
- 💰 Junior level: £40,000 - £55,000
- 💰 Mid-level: £55,000 - £65,000
