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.
Design and develop mechanisms/actuation systems including launchers, launcher cradles, landing gear assemblies, control surface linkages, payload/parachute deployment mechanisms, and various electromechanical systems

- Develop mechanism concepts from first principles, evaluating trade-offs between complexity, weight, reliability, and manufacturability
- Design and develop hydraulic actuation systems — including circuit design, component selection (cylinders, valves, accumulators, pumps), and integration with structural and control architecture
- Design electromechanical actuation systems, integrating linear and rotary actuators, servo drives, and associated mechanical hardware
- Ensure system designs comply with relevant safety, sealing, and environmental protection requirements
- Collaborate with avionics and software teams to define actuator command interfaces and feedback requirements
- Define mechanical interfaces with adjacent structures, avionics, and control systems to ensure seamless integration across subsystems
- Optimize mechanisms for weight efficiency, structural durability, wear life, and ease of assembly and maintenance
- Perform kinematic and dynamic analysis to define and validate systems across the full operational envelope
- Analyze force transmission through linkage systems, including static and dynamic load cases, mechanical advantage, and actuator load requirements
- Identify and mitigate potential failure modes such as over-center conditions, binding, backlash, and fatigue in joints and bearings
- Support hands-on prototype assembly, providing on-vehicle integration guidance and resolving fit/form issues in real time
- Produce clear, accurate, manufacturing-ready part and assembly drawings in line with engineering drawing standards
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are producible and cost-effective
- Develop validation and test plans to verify that integrated assemblies meet design requirements
- Support physical testing activities, recording observations and analyzing results against acceptance criteria
- Author thorough technical reports and presentations to support design reviews and project milestones
