Hardware Design Engineer

📍 Newcastle Area | Hybrid 3/2 split

I'm working with an established electronics business who design and build their own products in-house. They're after a Hardware Design Engineer to support new product development someone who can own the electronics design and grow into the go-to expert on their core technologies.

Small, fast-paced engineering team covering R&D, product development and new product introduction. You'd be leading projects, not just contributing to them.

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.
