Graduate Embedded Software Engineer

A high tech product manufacturer is looking for a graduate embedded software engineer to join its electronics team. The company builds safety critical products for industrial use, and this role sits with the team responsible for the control and monitoring software that runs on them.

The successful applicant will start out working alongside experienced engineers on firmware for ARM based microcontrollers, gradually taking on their own areas as they find their feet. Day to day that means:

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.

  • Writing C and C++ for embedded targets
  • Learning how a real time operating system fits together
  • Working with communications interfaces between boards and systems
  • Spending real time on the bench bringing hardware up and debugging it

What matters is being the sort of person who can be handed a board and some code and will happily dig into what is going on.

Requirements

Applicants will need:

  • A degree in electronics, computer science or a related subject
  • Some exposure to C or C++, whether through study, placement or personal projects
  • An interest in working close to hardware rather than purely in software
  • Evidence of building things, which counts for a great deal in this process
