Overview of Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer specialising in Geospatial Navigation, you will play a pivotal role in our company's sales process by leveraging your technical expertise to understand customer requirements, propose tailored solutions, and demonstrate the value of our products or services. You will collaborate closely with the sales team to effectively communicate the technical aspects of our offerings and address customer concerns, ultimately contributing to the acquisition of new business and the expansion of existing accounts.

Moreover, you will support the sales team in ensuring customer satisfaction by managing timelines and providing clients with regular updates on project progress. Your role will be crucial in facilitating technical implementations and resolving product issues and escalations, all aimed at achieving the highest levels of client satisfaction.

Roles & Responsibilities

Technical Consultation and Solution Design

Engage with prospects and customers to assess their geospatial navigation requirements and business objectives. Leverage your expertise in geospatial technologies, including GNSS (global navigation satellite system) and INS (inertial navigation system), to recommend solutions that address their specific needs and deliver measurable value. Collaborate with the sales team to design and customise solutions that align with customer requirements and differentiate our offerings in the market.

Product Demonstrations and Presentations

Conduct compelling product demonstrations and presentations to showcase the capabilities, features, and benefits of our geospatial navigation solutions. Tailor presentations to highlight the unique value proposition of our offerings and demonstrate how they address customer pain points and business challenges. Effectively communicate complex geospatial concepts and technical details to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Proof of Concept (PoC) Development

Lead the design and execution of proof of concept projects to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed solutions. Work closely with customers to define success criteria, develop implementation plans, and demonstrate the value of our products in real-world scenarios. Gather feedback and iterate on PoC outcomes to refine solution proposals and address customer requirements.

Requirements Analysis and Solution Development

Collaborate with customers to gather and analyse technical requirements, translating them into actionable solution designs. Leverage your technical expertise and industry knowledge to recommend best practices, identify opportunities for innovation, and address potential challenges or limitations. Work closely with product development teams to provide feedback and insights that inform product roadmap decisions and enhancements.

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.
