Most software engineers spend their careers building things that never leave a screen. This one won't be like that.
A Leeds-based robotics MedTech company has built a sedation-free colonoscopy device: magnetic, single-use, born out of a decade of research at the University of Leeds. It's already running in human clinical trials.
The heart of this role is a fully custom embedded Linux distribution, not a standard build, and you'll own it. Alongside that, you'll get hands-on with the robotic manipulation algorithms steering the scope itself, and help set the coding standards a growing team will build on.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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 the role actually involves:
- Maintaining and evolving a custom Linux distro on the edge platform, genuinely core to the role
- Contributing to the robotic algorithms that guide the device
- Some ownership of the front-end/UI layer
- Setting the coding conventions the rest of the team follows
- Working close to the hardware, not just abstracted software
- Doing it properly with structured Git workflow, real lifecycle discipline

What you'll need:
- Significant depth in custom embedded Linux (Yocto knowledge a bonus)
- Some background in robotic or mechatronic systems
- Comfortable with Git and structured software delivery
- C/C++ and embedded systems exposure
- UI experience is a plus, not a requirement
Strong graduates with a relevant placement or gap year are just as welcome here as experienced engineers.
