R&D Engineer Embedded SW

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW is a member of an international R&D development team located in Cambridge, UK. The R&D team is developing highly sophisticated sensing devices to optimize production processes and for environmental emission monitoring to meet legal requirements.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW acts in a team of scientists and engineers for hardware and embedded SW development, starting from circuit ideation, schematics, layout, and prototype production through to Embedded SW programming, testing, and handover to production.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW is responsible for Embedded Software Design. A medium-level of understanding of HW design enables them to discuss, design, and implement HW close solutions. As part of a team, they will design HW and SW concepts for approval-relevant requirements (SIL, QAL1), implementing and testing metrological and functional algorithms, taking functional safety (SIL) and certified emission monitoring (QAL, AMS) into account.

The R&D Engineer Embedded SW also participates (depending on qualification) in the development/testing of software and hardware for PC/tablet/smartphone systems.

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.
