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.
We're recruiting an experienced Design Engineer for the more senior, technical end of the team. The focus is longer-term, complex aerospace and defence design work. The wider environment also spans motorsport, so there may be occasions where you turn your hand to faster-paced projects.
The role:
- Own the more technical side of design on longer-term aerospace and defence programmes
- Work across complex composite design and development
- Contribute to a founding engineering team and help shape how the function is built
- Flex into faster-paced motorsport projects when required

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What we're looking for:
- Strong mechanical and design engineering background from motorsport, R&D or aerospace
- Ability to lead the more technical side of design work
- Composites experience a strong advantage (the bulk of the work is composites-led), but not essential for the right engineer
- Design pedigree and capability are the priority
- CATIA V5 proficiency required; NX also considered
