I am looking for a unique kind of architect for a brand new function, in a cutting-edge Quantum computing environment.
The System / SOC HW Architect Role
The System / SOC HW Architect role is for someone with significant years of experience in ASIC / SOC hardware architecture engineering – potentially from an R&D function, and with a proven track record of multiple tape-outs.
You will be a key technical contributor in shaping the integrated chip architecture of this exciting new blend of technologies.
This is a high level role – which will carry a lot of responsibility for the overall architecture, plus managing relationships with suppliers, the fab, and custom packaging houses for precise definitions.
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.
