Our client is a specialist electronics manufacturer working on RF and mmWave technology used in high-performance communications systems. They are growing their manufacturing capability, with a clear focus on turning complex designs into stable, repeatable production.

Role overview

This NPI Engineer role is about getting new products into production properly. As an NPI Engineer, you’ll take responsibility for moving RF and microwave assemblies from early builds through to volume manufacture, making sure processes are practical, controlled and scalable. You will:

  • Own the transition from prototype builds into production
  • Plan and support pilot builds, resolving issues as they come up
  • Work with design engineers to improve manufacturability (DFM/DFA)
  • Set up production processes, tooling and work instructions
  • Put in place process flows, control plans and supporting documentation
  • Support ramp-up and work on yield and efficiency improvements
  • Lead root cause work using methods like 8D, DMAIC and FMEA

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.
