🚨 Outside IR35 | Senior Electronics Engineer | Cambridge | August Start 🚨

I’m working with a market-leading engineering & technology business that is looking for an Electronics Engineer on an Outside IR35 contract, starting in August.

This is a great opportunity to join a collaborative R&D environment developing high-reliability, safety-critical technology with real-world life-saving impact.

🔧 Key experience:

  • Analogue & mixed-signal circuit design
  • Embedded microcontroller-based systems
  • PCB design — Altium preferred
  • Prototyping, testing & debugging (EMC/ Safety critical is beneficial)
  • Verification, certification & product release
  • Low-power electronic systems

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.
