Hardware Security Research Engineer

I'm working with a team looking for a Hardware Security Research Engineer to explore complex electronic and cyber-physical systems, uncover vulnerabilities and develop innovative solutions to challenging security problems.

You'll be working across:

  • Researching and analysing hardware and embedded systems
  • Identifying hardware and cyber-physical security vulnerabilities
  • Developing proof-of-concept prototypes and technical demonstrators
  • Debugging hardware using tools such as JTAG, UART, SWD, oscilloscopes and logic analysers
  • Reverse engineering hardware and firmware where required
  • Working with multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative security solutions
  • Presenting technical findings and recommendations to stakeholders

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.
