If you're the kind of Verification Engineer who enjoys owning complex problems rather than just executing tests, this could be worth a conversation.
We're looking for a Principal level engineer to take a leading role in the verification of cutting-edge GPU technology. You'll work on highly complex hardware designs, helping to shape the verification strategy, drive sign-off, mentor engineers, and influence the future direction of verification methodologies.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading verification activities for GPU components and subsystems from planning through to sign-off.
- Developing verification strategies and building robust UVM environments.
- Creating testbenches, tests, sequences, assertions and coverage models.
- Driving verification closure through metrics, analysis and debugging.
- Influencing design discussions and providing verification-focused feedback.
- Mentoring and supporting other engineers within the team.
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.
