The Opportunity:
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Systems Engineer to work with complex, connected technology used across smart mobility and smart city environments. This is a varied technical role sitting at the intersection of IT infrastructure, networking, software and physical technology. You’ll work with connected and IoT devices, servers, operating systems, networks and applications, helping to configure, integrate, test and troubleshoot complete technology solutions.
We’re looking for a technical all-rounder – someone as comfortable at a keyboard configuring a network or operating system as they are working hands-on with hardware, cabling and connected devices.
Role and Responsibilities:
- Configure, integrate and support complex systems combining software, hardware, networking and connected devices.
- Build and configure representative test environments and technology test sites.
- Configure Windows and Linux-based systems, applications and associated infrastructure.
- Configure and troubleshoot IP networks, communications and connected devices.
- Integrate IoT and edge devices, sensors, cameras, controllers and other physical technologies into wider systems.
- Perform software, hardware and integrated systems testing.
- Diagnose complex technical issues across hardware, software and networks, carrying out root-cause analysis through to resolution.
- Manage system configurations, software and firmware versions and associated technical records.
- Produce technical specifications, test documentation, reports, procedures and handover documentation.
- Act as a technical escalation point and provide guidance and mentoring to other engineers.
- Occasionally overseas travel to support system setup, testing and other activities.
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.
