Leading research and technology projects from initial concept through to implementation
Identifying opportunities to improve product performance, manufacturing capability, cost and lead time
Developing business cases for new technologies and securing stakeholder buy-in
Designing, building and validating prototypes, tooling and specialised test equipment
Managing project budgets, schedules and technical deliverables
Producing and approving engineering designs, drawings and 3D models
Conducting trade studies, technical investigations and feasibility assessments
Working closely with suppliers, manufacturing partners and multidisciplinary engineering teams
Owning verification and validation activities to ensure robust technical solutions
Monitoring emerging technologies and identifying opportunities to enhance future capability

Leadership & Influence

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.

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 We're Looking For

Significant experience within research, development, advanced engineering or product innovation environments
A proven track record of taking concepts from idea through to implemented solution
Strong mechanical design and development expertise
Hands-on experience with prototyping, machining and experimental development
Excellent understanding of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)
Strong knowledge of engineering drawings, GD&T, limits and fits
Experience managing technical projects, budgets and schedules
Ability to work independently and make sound engineering decisions
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience In

Aerospace, defence, propulsion, automotive, energy or other high-performance engineering sectors
New product introduction (NPI)
Research and development programmes
Prototype development and testing
Materials engineering and manufacturing processes
Advanced mechanical systems and precision engineering

Why apply?

Work on genuinely cutting-edge technology development programmes
Own projects from concept to delivery
Influence the future direction of advanced engineering capability
Combine hands-on engineering with strategic innovation
Mentor the next generation of engineers
Join a highly skilled team solving complex technical challenges

This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys creating, improving and delivering—not simply maintaining what's already there.

If you thrive on innovation, technical leadership and turning ambitious ideas into reality, we'd love to hear from you.

Seniority level Mid-Senior level
Employment type Full-time
