Job Description

A sensor board comes back from three months at sea with salt crystals under the conformal coating and a fault nobody can reproduce. By lunch you’ve found it - a corroded joint dropping a rail under load - and by Friday your redesign is on the bench. Next month you’re doing something completely different: designing the sensing chain that could make C-Star constellations the best in the world at detecting and classifying surface vessels, or integrating a custom sensor for the US Navy.

What Oshen is

We make the ocean’s eyes & ears - we tell people what’s happening on the 70% of our globe taken up by our oceans. We do this with C-Star constellations, swarms of one-metre, wind-and-solar robots that sail the open ocean. Ours is the only surface robot to sail into a Category 5 hurricane and come back with the data. We design and build them in Plymouth and deploy them for the US Government, the Royal Navy, and climate scientists, giving information across an ocean the modern world depends on and currently can’t see.

If we succeed, navies will find dark ships and underwater threats before they reach critical infrastructure. Governments will predict hurricanes and other extreme weather earlier. Scientists will better understand how the ocean and climate are changing.

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.

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.

The people joining now will shape both the technology and the company. Very few engineers get to take something from an idea in the workshop to a real mission in the Atlantic, and know they helped achieve something nobody had done before. Here, you can.

The Role

You own hardware and software problems that come with new sensing methods and ever larger C-Star constellations. You’re involved in full ground-up redesigns of the full C-Star robots, diagnosis from sea trials, and integrating new sensors. Your work will span almost anything that could fall under engineering, but an electronics background will be helpful.

Who You Are

  • Strong electronics fundamentals (practical electronics experience, digital electronics, embedded systems) and comfortable working with the software that touches them.
  • In practice, this means you very likely have a 2:1 or higher in an electrical engineering degree or similar.
  • 2-4 years experience preferred, even better if at a fast-growing startup.
  • Reasons from first principles across domains, able to research and learn new engineering topics across domains.
  • The problems you solve will often require expertise across a broad area, and you’re unlikely to start out with all the skills required.
  • Evidence of self-directed technical work beyond any job or degree.
  • Maritime or defence experience is helpful.

Our goal of fundamentally changing our understanding of the oceans with thousands of eyes and ears is worthwhile but difficult - there’s a reason nobody has achieved this before. It’ll be a team of close-knit people who work hard towards a common goal that achieves this. Sometimes, there’ll be long hours, sometimes tense debugging alongside teammates, and figuring out problems nobody has solved before. If you want a regular job, with fixed hours, carefully laid-out development plans, someone to always call on for help, don’t apply.
