I'm recruiting for a growing tech business in Cheltenham who are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join the team.
The company designs ruggedized electromechanical products used in harsh environments across the globe.
About the Role
The position involves writing/maintaining mostly low-level embedded code, working directly with the hardware. It's a mix of bare-metal and RTOS environments, requires a good knowledge of the HW/SW interface.
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.
