Mechanical / Mechatronics Design Engineer

Make your designs work in the real world.

Are you a Mechanical or Mechatronics Design Engineer looking for a role where you can take real ownership of your designs from concept through to production?

Our client are looking for a Mechanical / Mechatronics Design Engineer to join their team and play a key role in designing the next generation of robust, field-ready machinery.

The Role

You’ll have full ownership of projects, taking designs from initial concepts and 3D models through prototyping, testing, validation and into commercial production.

Working across mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems, you’ll develop practical engineering solutions that are built to perform in demanding agricultural environments.

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.
