Job Title: Product Development Engineer · Location: Crawley, West Sussex (lab-based, on site at least four days a week)
The Opportunity
A UK solar-thermal manufacturer has just closed a government-backed £8.9m round to bring manufacturing in-house. The open question is which product the new factory builds. Its next-generation collector is in development now, and the engineer who joins this lab will generate the test evidence that shapes that decision.
The Impact You Will Have
- Put hands on the next-generation product, aimed at higher output, lower cost and simpler integration
- Design, build and instrument the rigs that decide which product concepts go forward
- Produce the data that takes the next generation towards certification and into production
- Join an engineering team that has grown entirely by referral until now, bringing fresh ideas as one of its first external hires
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What Success Looks Like
- You are happiest at the bench: building, instrumenting, breaking and fixing physical setups
- You understand measurement properly: sensors, signal quality, sources of error
- You turn raw data into conclusions you can defend, and adjust the test in real time when results surprise you
- You may be building a career in experimental engineering, or bringing years of it to a role that keeps you close to the hardware
What Is on Offer
- A base of around £60,000, a 10% discretionary bonus and share options, which every employee receives
- You also get private healthcare, 25 days' holiday plus your birthday, and paid volunteering time
- You will also sit close to the engineering calls on a product going into British manufacturing

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This role suits someone who wants their test results to change what gets built. For a confidential conversation, get in touch.
