FPGA Engineer

£60,000 - £80,000 GBP
Onsite WORKING
Location: Manchester, Manchester, North West - United Kingdom
Type: Permanent

Role: Senior Electronics FPGA Engineer

Location: Manchester (Primarily Onsite Work)

Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 (Depending on Experience)

A rare opportunity to take ownership of FPGA and electronics development for a small but established product company building high-voltage monitoring technology used across critical infrastructure.

The business designs and manufactures specialist hardware and software that helps customers detect asset degradation early and improve network reliability. This is a hands-on product development role with genuine scope, not a consultancy assignment or a narrow coding position.

You will work across the full design cycle and become the technical lead for this area, supporting current products and shaping next-generation platforms.

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.
