Principal Power Electronics Engineer

My client has recently made a new opportunity available for a Principal Power Electronics Engineer to join their multi-skilled R&D team based in Tyne & Wear, North East England.

This company develops high-performance permanent magnet electric motors and generators used across a variety of sectors, including Rail, Energy, and Power.

My client is a technology business with diverse interests across the rail, defence, and energy industries, where it is recognised for developing innovative, leading-edge technologies. They have a truly global footprint, with facilities in nearly every developed economy and a portfolio of high-value, high-profile technology projects.

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.
