Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer
Yateley, UK Full-time | Permanent
Work on Advanced Electronics for Cutting-Edge Engineering Systems
This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer to join a highly advanced engineering environment, developing innovative electronic systems used across complex, real-world applications.
You’ll be working on a diverse range of products — from acoustic systems to data-driven instrumentation — playing a key role in delivering high-performance, reliable hardware solutions.
This is a position suited to someone who enjoys technical ownership, problem solving, and working on complex, low-noise, low-power designs within a collaborative engineering team.
Why This Role?
- Work on technically advanced, real-world engineering products
- Strong focus on innovation and new technology development
- Opportunity to take technical ownership of designs
- Collaborative environment across engineering and production teams
- Exposure to full product lifecycle (design → testing → delivery)
- Supportive team with opportunities to mentor and influence projects
- Long-term career development within a specialist engineering environment
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.
