Embedded Linux Engineer

Permanent | Hybrid | No Visa Sponsorship available

The Role

We’re seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with strong embedded MCU and embedded Linux experience. You’ll design, build, and test embedded systems across sensing, robotics, communications, and IoT. Work ranges from Linux‑based systems to bare-metal, RTOS, device drivers, and system-level debugging.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop embedded Linux systems (including Arm SoCs, Yocto, custom images, device trees, kernel/user-space work).
  • Contribute to RTOS and bare-metal development across various MCU platforms.
  • Support system bring-up, hardware integration, debugging, and performance optimisation.
  • Work closely with electronics and FPGA teams.
  • Participate in good engineering practice, documentation, and project planning.

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.
