About Amodo
Amodo is a hardware engineering company building the 21st century’s most important technologies. Our team of mechanical, electronic, firmware, and software engineers are trusted by world-leading startups, universities, governments and philanthropists to solve pressing technical challenges.
We are selective in the projects we take on and proactive in seeking out where our exceptional engineering teams can make the most impact. We believe in differential technology development: deliberately accelerating safety-enhancing technologies to ensure human flourishing. Not every technology is inevitable – rather, the market fails to incentivise key domains. We work in these areas.
We’ve doubled year on year since our founding in 2023, and we aim to do so again in 2026. That means we’re actively hiring across electronics, FPGA, mechanical, firmware, software, physics, HPC infrastructure, and DevOps — plus exceptional talent in any discipline.
The Role
We are hiring scientists to help plan and run our PPE (respirator) testing programme. This is an unapologetically hands-on role. Day-to-day, you will:
- Help plan the testing programme — protocols, methods, and measurements
- Prepare test equipment and environment and run tests hands-on
- Manage test sessions with our participants, who are members of the public
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.
We’re looking for someone who will fit into a team with a strong culture of excellence. Good experimental design only counts if the execution matches it, so we want people who take pride in running their own experiments and in getting clean, dependable data from real-world human participants.
About You
We value drive, culture fit, and a track-record of excellence above all else, but the below competencies, interests, and attributes are extremely desirable:
- Strong scientific background — a degree or postgraduate research experience in a physical, life, or applied science
- Experience designing experiments: protocols, controls, and measurement methodology
- Meticulous hands-on execution — careful, repeatable work with equipment and instrumentation
- Comfortable and professional working face-to-face with members of the public as test participants
- Rigorous record keeping and an insistence on clean, defensible data
Alongside the above, the below competencies will strengthen an application:
- Statistics and data analysis skills (preferably python)
- Experience with human-participant studies or regulated testing environments
- Familiarity with respirator fit testing, occupational hygiene, or PPE standards
- Very strong communication skills

Our values: Truth-seeking, excellent, enthusiastic, kind, humble, and always learning

No “not my job”-ism: If we see something wrong, we fix it. If your part of a project is going great and another is struggling, don’t settle for polishing a chunk of a struggling ship
