Embedded Linux Software Engineer | Cambridge | Scaling Consultancy | £65,000
We're working with a leading engineering consultancy based in Cambridge, and we're on the hunt for an Embedded Linux Software Engineer to join their growing team.
This isn't a one product, one roadmap kind of role. You'll be working across sensing, robotics, communications and IoT projects, spanning industrial, Govt and medical sectors.
One month you could be doing board bring up on an Arm based SoC, the next working embedded Linux for a medtech device. Genuine variety, not just a line in a job spec.
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.
