NPI Engineer

Copello are working with a leading advanced manufacturing organisation to recruit NPI Engineers for a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the introduction of highly advanced technologies, helping transition complex products from development and prototype builds into stable, scalable production.

We’re keen to hear from engineers with experience in electronics, automotive, or other high-reliability manufacturing environments. If you’ve worked on introducing new products, improving manufacturing processes, or supporting production readiness, your experience could be a great fit.

This role offers the chance to build on your existing manufacturing knowledge while developing specialist skills in RF and semiconductor technologies.

The Role As an NPI Engineer, you’ll support the introduction of new products into manufacturing, helping ensure designs move successfully from development into repeatable, efficient production.

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.
