  • Validate data end to end, from field devices and sensors through connectivity and processing layers to cloud-based platforms and applications.
  • Install and test software across operating-system and application layers, including relevant Linux, Robot Operating System, and embedded environments.
  • Work with vendors and operational teams during deployments, provide feedback on technical issues, and identify opportunities for product and solution improvements.
  • Provide remote support for field installations and operational environments, including device maintenance, upgrades, troubleshooting, and ongoing technical support.
  • Create or adapt online dashboards and data visualization solutions to present operational and technology data effectively.
  • Contribute to data processing activities involving computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning where relevant to operational technology solutions.

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.
