Job Type: Permanent
I’m currently recruiting for a Software Engineer to join a rapidly growing technology and R&D organisation in the Bristol area. This is an excellent opportunity to work on embedded software, software-defined radio, DSP and communications technologies within a highly technical engineering environment.
You’ll be involved in developing innovative software solutions for complex client requirements, working across research, prototyping, implementation, and testing.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll contribute to a variety of advanced R&D programmes, with a particular focus on radio frequency, communications, and embedded technologies.
Responsibilities will include:
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.
