Launch Your Engineering Career with Real-World Product Development

Are you a recent Electronics Engineering graduate looking to apply your knowledge to cutting-edge products and technologies?

We're seeking a Graduate Electronics Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers, gaining hands-on experience across electronics design, PCB development, embedded firmware, testing and product development.

From day one, you'll be involved in real engineering projects and supported through a structured development programme designed to accelerate your career.


The Role

As a Graduate Electronics Engineer, you'll work as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, contributing to the design, development and testing of electronic products from concept through to production.


Your Responsibilities Will Include

  • Assisting with electronic circuit design and development
  • Supporting PCB schematic capture, layout and testing activities
  • Developing and debugging embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems
  • Conducting product validation, verification and fault-finding activities
  • Supporting prototype builds and laboratory testing
  • Producing technical documentation and engineering reports
  • Collaborating with hardware, software and manufacturing teams throughout the product lifecycle

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.
