Senior Electronics Design Engineer - For the Engineer Who'd Rather Be at the Bench

A well-established UK electronics design house, part of a larger European manufacturing group, is hiring for its hardest hardware design work. Projects span Automotive, Defence & Aerospace, Medical, Space and more.

This is a design role, full stop. If your idea of a good week involves solving the genuinely difficult circuit problem rather than managing the plan around it, read on.

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.
