Where?: Bristol or Cambridge
What?: Permanent or Contract
An innovative technology company developing advanced digital hardware and signal processing solutions is seeking a Senior Verification Engineer to join its growing engineering team in either Bristol or Cambridge.
The Role
As a Senior Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for planning, developing, and executing verification activities for complex digital designs and subsystems.
Working within a collaborative ASIC and FPGA development environment, you will play a key role in verifying complex RTL designs, ensuring products meet functional, quality, and performance requirements before deployment into production hardware.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on technically challenging projects alongside experienced hardware, FPGA, and verification engineers.
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.
