Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re working on exciting technology that will improve the utility and accelerate the time-to-market of quantum computing systems. We integrate novel quantum photonic technology to form an efficient and scalable quantum networking infrastructure in partnership with world-leading companies and academic groups.
About The Role
We are looking for an Associate Mechanical Engineer/Mid-level Mechanical Engineer (depending on experience) to join our highly collaborative team, to support the development of our novel quantum networking hardware. The successful candidate will be working with, and supported by, teams spanning mechanical, electronic, optical, nanofabrication, software, and physics.
