We’re supporting a global engineering company developing advanced electronic and sensing technologies for complex aerospace and defence programmes. They are looking to recruit an FPGA Engineer to join their Edinburgh-based engineering team, working on high-performance embedded firmware and FPGA solutions for next-generation systems.
This is a varied role that offers exposure to every stage of the FPGA development process, from requirements capture and architecture through to RTL design, verification, hardware integration, and product release. You’ll work closely with systems, electronics, and software engineers, helping to develop robust FPGA solutions for technically challenging applications.
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.
