New Opportunity for an IC Layout Engineer
This is a new opportunity for an IC Layout Engineer with an expanding Semiconductor company set to revolutionize AI hardware infrastructure. With an office in Southampton, they offer very flexible working arrangements with just a day or so in the office every fortnight.
Working as a member of an experienced team of Analog IC Design and Layout experts, the IC Layout Engineer will support the physical layout of analog and mixed-signal high-speed integrated circuits; converting schematics into high-quality layouts that meet electrical, matching, parasitic, reliability, and manufacturability requirements. You’ll thrive in this small, high-performing team and really make a tangible impact. You’ll play a visible role in shaping products, influencing technical direction, and contributing to the growth of an exciting semiconductor business.
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.
