I’m working with one of the UK’s most exciting semiconductor companies, currently hiring Silicon Verification Engineers to join its AI compute team in Bristol and Cambridge.

This is a genuinely standout opportunity for verification engineers looking for technically complex silicon work and one of the most competitive compensation packages in the UK semiconductor market.

You’ll work closely with architecture, RTL design and physical design teams, helping ensure complex silicon behaves exactly as intended before it reaches implementation.

What you’ll be doing

  • Verification of complex ASIC / processor designs
  • Developing verification plans and driving coverage to closure
  • SystemVerilog / UVM verification
  • SVA and assertion-based verification
  • Debugging across RTL, software and verification infrastructure
  • Python automation and test generation
  • Working closely with architecture and design teams

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.
