Monday you’re in a workshop with a navy customer, turning what they actually need into a mission our constellations can deliver. Wednesday you pull a shift in the R&D room at our HQ, running tests, debugging, making sure the integration work matches what you promised. Friday you’re writing the plan that gets ten robots, four crates of kit under export licence to the other side of an ocean, and when there’s a hiccup, you’re the one who catches and solves it.
What Oshen is
We make the ocean’s eyes & ears - we tell people what’s happening on the 70% of our globe taken up by our oceans. We do this with C-Star constellations, swarms of one-metre, wind-and-solar robots that sail the open ocean. Ours is the only surface robot to sail into a Category 5 hurricane and come back with the data. We design and build them in Plymouth and deploy them for the US Government, the Royal Navy, and climate scientists, giving information across an ocean the modern world depends on and currently can’t see.
If we succeed, navies will find dark ships and underwater threats before they reach critical infrastructure. Governments will predict hurricanes and other extreme weather earlier. Scientists will better understand how the ocean and climate are changing.
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.
The people joining now will shape both the technology and the company. Very few engineers get to take something from an idea in the workshop to a real mission in the Atlantic, and know they helped achieve something nobody had done before. Here, you can.
The role
You’re an engineer who owns customer programmes end to end: scoping, planning, integration, delivery, and the relationship itself. You are the technical face of Oshen to defence customers, government scientists and offshore survey teams - you’re credible in the meeting room because you understand the C-Star robots, and useful in the workshop because you do too. You’ll travel to customer sites in the UK and internationally, and between programmes you’ll muck in with everything else at Oshen HQ.
Who you are
- Technically strong. You don’t live in your spreadsheets and project plans and have another engineer deliver the work, you have the engineering ability to crack on and do it yourself.
- An excellent communicator: you talk to customers, suppliers, engineers and leadership, balance competing priorities, and communicate in a way that makes sense to each group.
- Organised: you build plans that help people, you set up processes to save the company time, but you don’t like process for process’s sake.
- High agency: when something threatens the programme, you see it early and fix it without being asked. You’ll spot and put out five fires over a week, because you care deeply about the project, and nobody will even see you doing it.
- Calm when it goes wrong (it often will) and able to adapt fast.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Our goal of fundamentally changing our understanding of the oceans with thousands of eyes and ears is worthwhile but difficult - there’s a reason nobody has achieved this before. It’ll be a team of close knit people who work hard towards a common goal that achieves this. Sometimes, there’ll be long hours, tense crisis management with teammates as a sensor breaks or a C-Star shipment is derailed. If you want a regular job, with fixed hours, carefully laid out development plans, someone to always call on for help, don’t apply.
