Software/Firmware Engineer
Glasgow | £40,000 - 5-days per week on site (flexible)
Our client designs and manufactures condition monitoring equipment for power utilities and transmission companies, helping operators detect problems in high-voltage infrastructure before they cause failures. Their systems monitor partial discharge, circuit breaker condition and substation health, giving early warning of issues that would otherwise go undetected until it's too late.
The Role
We're looking for a mid-level Software/Firmware Engineer to join the development team.
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.
