Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they are looking for
Our client is looking for someone with strong commercial MMIC design experience and a track record of taking devices from concept through fabrication and verification.
You Should Have
- Industrial experience designing MMICs within a semiconductor environment
- Strong experience with RF amplifiers, LNAs or frequency-conversion circuits
- Experience using GaAs and/or GaN HEMT technologies
- Hands-on RF measurement and device characterisation capability
- A good understanding of microwave and millimetre-wave communication systems
Experience with WIN Semiconductor processes, products above 37GHz or mentoring other engineers would be useful, but is not essential.
