FPGA / Embedded Systems Engineer - Quantum Technology
Location
UK / Hybrid
Sector
Quantum Computing, Scientific Hardware & Advanced Computing
Level
Mid-Senior to Principal
We're looking to connect with experienced FPGA and Embedded Systems Engineers interested in working at the intersection of advanced electronics, scientific computing, and quantum technology.
Europe's quantum hardware ecosystem is growing rapidly and creating demand for engineers capable of designing the high-performance electronics and control systems required to operate increasingly sophisticated quantum systems.
Importantly, previous quantum computing experience isn't essential.
We're particularly interested in engineers from semiconductor, aerospace, defence, telecoms, robotics, scientific instrumentation, and other complex hardware environments who would consider applying their expertise within quantum technology.

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.

You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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 to speak with engineers experienced in areas including:
- FPGA design and development
- VHDL / Verilog / SystemVerilog
- RTL design
- FPGA verification
- Embedded systems
- Embedded C / C++
- Digital electronics
- High-speed electronics
- RF and signal processing

Your Background
You may currently work within:
- Quantum technology
- Semiconductors
- Scientific instrumentation
- Aerospace or defence
- Telecoms
- Robotics
- High-performance computing
- Industrial electronics
- Advanced hardware
We're particularly interested in engineers who enjoy solving difficult technical problems where hardware, firmware, and software interact.
Moving into Quantum
You don't necessarily need previous quantum experience.
Many of the engineering challenges facing quantum computing companies require expertise already established within semiconductor, electronics, FPGA, and embedded engineering environments.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For engineers interested in moving into quantum technology, we're particularly keen to understand your existing technical expertise and the type of technology you'd like to work with next.
Why Connect?
We're developing a specialist network across Europe's quantum and advanced-computing ecosystem and want to speak with engineers who may be interested in opportunities within this rapidly developing market.
Whether you're actively looking or simply curious about how your experience could transfer into quantum technology, we'd be interested in having a confidential conversation.
Apply or get in touch to discuss your background and the types of quantum and advanced-computing organisations that could be relevant to you.
