The Resident Engineer - Product

The Resident Engineer - Product will be the key supplier representative, onsite within the customer's product development team.

You'll play a key role in the development of customer products, supporting projects from initial concept through to validation, launch and mass production.

Responsibilities

The Resident Engineer - Product will be responsible for:

  • Supporting product development from initial concept, quotation and prototyping through to production release.
  • Managing technical requirements and risk throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Ensuring customer specifications, cost targets, manufacturing requirements and project timelines are achieved.
  • Acting as the technical interface between customers and internal functions including design, manufacturing and industrialisation.
  • Coordinating product testing activities, analysing results and implementing corrective actions where required.
  • Supporting product launches and working with programme teams to resolve technical issues and deliver successful outcomes.

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.
