We are looking for a Graduate / Early Career HPC Systems Engineer to join our High Performance Computing (HPC) team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate, Linux enthusiast, or someone with up to 2 years' experience in infrastructure, systems administration, or HPC to develop their career in a world-class engineering environment.
You'll help support and optimise the computing platforms that underpin McLaren Racing's Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), simulation, AI and engineering workloads. Working alongside experienced HPC specialists, you'll gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies across Linux, supercomputing, storage, networking and automation.
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.
