NEW POWER ELECTRONICS DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER JOB IN BARNSTAPLE.

Our client are seeking a talented and commercially aware Power Electronics Development Engineer to join their growing engineering team.

We're recruiting on behalf of a leading electronics manufacturer that develops high performance switch mode power supplies for customers across a range of demanding industries. This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative engineering team where you'll take ownership of challenging design projects and contribute to the development of cutting edge power conversion technology.

Working closely with cross functional teams, you will support projects from initial customer requirements through circuit design, prototyping, testing and product qualification.

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.
