Senior/Principal Electronics Design Engineer

Senior / Principal Electronics Design Engineer - Own the Project, Not Just the Circuit

A well-established UK electronics design house, part of a larger European manufacturing group, is expanding its engineering team. The work spans Automotive, Defence & Aerospace, Medical, Space and more, and no two projects look the same.

This one's for an engineer who wants the whole project, not just the schematic. You'll take a client's requirement, shape it, design a chunk of it yourself, and direct the rest of the team so it lands on time.

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.

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.

What you'll be doing:

  • Owning design projects end to end - enquiry through to production handover

  • Breaking down the work, estimating effort, pulling in the right resource
  • Directing electronics and PCB layout engineers on your projects
  • Hands-on hardware design, bring-up, test and fault finding
  • Managing scope, risk and client expectations like a grown-up

What you'll bring:

  • Extensive electronics hardware design experience, concept to production
  • Track record of owning projects, not just contributing to them
  • Confidence directing other engineers' work, formally or otherwise
