Senior Electronics Engineer - Cambridge
If you're the type of engineer who enjoys taking a concept scribbled on a whiteboard and turning it into a real, manufactured product, this could be worth a look.
We're working with an established Cambridge technology company that develops innovative products for global organisations across a range of high-tech sectors. One project might involve electronics for a complex electromechanical system, the next could see you solving a completely different technical challenge for an international customer.
This isn't a role where you'll spend years making minor updates to a legacy product.
Instead, you'll work alongside a multidisciplinary team of talented engineers, scientists, and designers developing new products from concept through to manufacture.
The role would suit an experienced Electronics Engineer who enjoys hands-on product development and embedded software, and is keen to increase their influence on projects whilst remaining technically involved.
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.
