Be visionary

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging, and pharmaceutical research.

We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

Job Description

Teledyne e2v’s RF Power business is a global leader in advanced RF solutions, delivering high-reliability systems for critical applications across science, healthcare, defence, and industrial sectors.

This is a unique and high-impact opportunity to join the RF Power Project team, taking a leading role in driving subcontractor performance and supplier readiness across complex, cutting-edge programmes. You will play a pivotal part in two strategically important PCBA system integration projects, each at different stages of their lifecycle, ensuring seamless progression from concept through to stable production.

Working within a high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environment, you will champion supplier alignment from early design engagement through industrialisation to full delivery. At every stage, you will proactively manage readiness, minimise execution risk, and enable confident programme delivery.

As the key interface between engineering, operations, quality, and the supply base, you will ensure that commercial strategy, technical maturity, and delivery performance are fully integrated—driving programme milestones and strengthening overall delivery assurance.

Main Responsibilities:

Subcontract & Supplier Delivery

  • Lead supplier selection activities ensuring capability, capacity, and maturity alignment to programme phase (NPI through to production ramp) and delivery risk profile.
  • Own end-to-end delivery performance of assigned subcontractors, ensuring alignment to programme milestones, cost targets, and quality requirements.
  • Establish and maintain robust supplier delivery plans, tracking performance against agreed schedules and proactively managing risks and constraints.
  • Lead recovery planning and execution for underperforming suppliers, driving timely resolution of delivery or quality issues.

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.
