About Us
DTC | A Codan Company develops high-performance wireless communication systems used in some of the most demanding environments worldwide, from defence and public safety to broadcast and major global events.
Our technology enables secure, reliable transmission of video, voice, and data where it matters most.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior RF Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team in Hampshire. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys component-level RF design and wants to work across the full product lifecycle from concept through to production and in-service support.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Designing RF systems and board-level hardware
- Developing solutions across transmitters, receivers, power amplifiers, filters, and SDR systems
- Producing schematics, PCB layouts, simulations, and test plans
- Supporting integration, validation, and manufacturing
- Working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-performance products
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.
