About The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to apply your passion for Mechanical Design to the design and development of our stationary power fuel cell products.

Working as part of a cross-functional team, you will be responsible for the on-time development and delivery of designs and documentation detailing parts and assemblies of appropriate manufacturability against a set of customer requirements.

You will ensure that engineering best practice, including DfX principles are incorporated into the product development lifecycle. You will contribute towards the long-term mechanical design strategy to standardise, simplify and modularise our products.

About You

You will have proven product development experience. It is key that you have a commercial mindset and the ability to work with a flexible and solutions focused approach, in an agile and fast paced environment. You must also be able to work collaboratively with a cross-functional team alongside both technical and non-technical colleagues. As such, excellent communication skills are vital.

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.
