Senior Embedded Software Engineer | £60-70k | St. Ives

If you want to develop yourself from a Senior to a Lead engineer with a leading company developing extremely precise systems. This is the role for you.

You’ll be responsible for developing firmware & software, leading the software development team, and innovating the next generation of concepts.

Responsibilities as an Embedded Software Engineer:

  • Design, develop, optimise, and thoroughly test firmware and software for execution on bare-metal processors and embedded Linux/RTOS platforms
  • Lead a cross-functional team of hardware and software engineers to define the requirements and lead the software development life cycle

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.
