Job Description
Our Drug Delivery Product Design & Development Consulting | TTP team is looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer who can bridge the gap between client ambition and technical delivery. You will work closely with our business development colleagues to understand our client's needs and build compelling proposals for solving their most technically complex challenges.

As a design and engineering consultancy specialising in advanced drug delivery devices and combination products, we help teams take devices from blank sheet to clinical reality, addressing challenges such as high-viscosity biologics and advanced formulations.

We focus on developing robust, efficient and scalable devices that support therapeutic effectiveness and perform reliably in real-world use.
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.
