Job Opportunity: Junior FPGA Engineer

We are supporting a fast-growing quantum technology company developing the networking infrastructure that will enable the next generation of scalable quantum computing. They are looking to add a Junior FPGA Engineer to their Control Systems team, developing the real-time hardware that sits at the heart of advanced quantum networking platforms.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career FPGA Engineer looking to work on cutting-edge technology alongside experienced hardware, software, and physics specialists. You’ll gain exposure to the full development lifecycle, from RTL design and verification through to hardware bring-up, system integration, and deployment on advanced quantum networking platforms.

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.
