Principle Systems Engineer

Stevenage
£70,000 - £80,000
Monday to Friday

Our client is seeking a Principle Systems Engineer to take technical ownership of a brand new physical system. This role requires proven experience defining system requirements and architecture from first principles, rather than solely implementing requirements authored by others.

Roles/Responsibilities

  • Own system requirements, architecture, and technical direction.
  • Act as the senior technical authority for a complex engineering programme.
  • Lead multidisciplinary design, integration, and problem-solving activities.
  • Direct and challenge suppliers, partners, and specialist engineering teams.
  • Drive verification, validation, and product qualification.
  • Engage customers and stakeholders while shaping systems engineering best practice.
  • Travel across the UK and occasionally internationally to support customers, suppliers, trials, and engineering partners.

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.
