This role provides an opportunity to gain experience working with multi-functional engineering organizations while building software solutions that improve engineering productivity and execution visibility.

  • Chip in to custom integrations with engineering tools and reporting systems.

Dashboard & UI Development

  • Develop and maintain web-based dashboards and user interfaces that visualize project health, engineering metrics, defect trends, and execution status.
  • Work with modern web technologies to enhance usability and user experience.

Data Analytics

  • Assist in building reporting pipelines, generating engineering metrics, validating data quality, and creating dashboards that provide actionable insights for engineering and program teams.

Collaboration

  • Work with Design, Verification, Implementation, Validation, Power, Performance, Software, and Program Management teams to understand workflow requirements, support issue resolution, and continuously improve engineering processes.

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.
