Senior DSP Engineer - Radar

Location: Cambridge
Salary: £60,000 - £130,000 (flexible for the right person) + Equity + Benefits

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, well-funded technology company working at the cutting edge of technology. You’ll play a key role in designing and delivering high-performance digital signal processing solutions that sit at the heart of complex, safety-critical systems.

You will take ownership of DSP algorithm development across the full lifecycle, from early concept and simulation through to real-time, flight-ready implementation on embedded and FPGA-based platforms.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for developing, implementing, and optimising DSP algorithms. Early in programmes, you’ll focus on modelling, simulation, and algorithm development. As systems mature, you’ll work closely with FPGA, avionics, and systems engineers to deliver robust, real-time solutions suitable for flight environments.

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.
