Embedded Software Engineer
A global engineering organisation is expanding its Cambridge-based team and is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to help develop a new generation of advanced electronic control units. This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly capable engineering division at a pivotal stage of its growth.
You'll be joining early enough to make a genuine impact on the technology, processes and products, while benefiting from the stability, resources and global reach of an established international engineering group.
Working closely with colleagues across the UK and Canada, you'll be part of a collaborative, technically driven team where engineering excellence, flexibility and delivering for the customer are at the heart of everything they do.
This is a hands-on role where you'll develop safety-critical embedded software for prototype and production systems, working closely with software, systems and hardware engineers to deliver robust solutions that meet demanding customer and industry standards.
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.
