About the Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Technical Designer/Product Design Engineer to work alongside an Industrial Design team developing innovative consumer products. You’ll turn creative concepts into technically viable proof-of-concept solutions, working at pace across CAD development, layout validation, mechanisms and rapid prototyping to help take ideas from initial concept towards physical reality.

This position would suit an experienced Technical Designer/Design Engineer from a consumer electronics, domestic appliance or product development background, ideally with experience working alongside Industrial Designers either in-house or within a consultancy. It will appeal to someone who enjoys rapid iteration, complex mechanical problem-solving and finding technically robust solutions without compromising the original design intent.

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.
