Join a pioneering space technology company – Edinburgh, Hybrid Working Model

This innovative space technology business is developing next-generation satellite communications systems, with a highly specialised engineering team responsible for advanced silicon at the heart of its global connectivity platform. The team are now looking for a Software Validation Engineer with a strong focus on Python development and automation to support the validation of complex SoC devices.

You’ll work across pre- and post-silicon validation, developing automated test and regression frameworks while working closely with IC design, embedded software, hardware and systems 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.
