Closing Date: Tuesday 11th August 2026

As a Regional Product Support (RPS) Engineer here at Illumina in the UK, you will deliver advanced technical expertise to support our field service teams and technical support specialists across the wider EMEALA region. You will troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve complex issues across sophisticated electro‑mechanical instruments, software, and networked systems, stepping in when first‑line support requires deeper technical investigation. In this highly collaborative role, you will partner closely with global teams including Manufacturing, Quality, and Global Product Support to drive timely resolution and enhance product performance. You may also participate in customer installations, training, and specialist support activities for highly technical platforms.

This role directly contributes to our commitment to Make Customers Heroes by ensuring the exceptional reliability and performance of our technologies.

Why You:

You will have a background in Electronic, Embedded Systems, Computer, or Mechatronic Engineering and bring considerable experience working with advanced instrumentation or complex electro-mechanical systems. You are naturally curious, enjoy investigating difficult technical issues, and take pride in diagnosing, troubleshooting, and repairing systems where the root cause is not immediately obvious.

You will have the communication skills to advise, influence, and guide frontline teams, adapting your style to suit varied audiences, from engineers to regional stakeholders. You are someone who takes ownership, acts with integrity, and thrives in environments where you can innovate with purpose. Experience leading technical workshops, mentoring engineers, or serving as a subject matter expert would be highly advantageous. A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or equivalent experience in a related Engineering field is required.

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.
