Work on world-class automotive chips. Build your career with one of the industry’s leading semiconductor companies.
Location: Edinburgh, UK (Hybrid)
Visa sponsorship and relocation support available
I’m working exclusively with a global semiconductor company that’s continuing to invest heavily in its Digital Verification team.
They’re looking for experienced Verification Engineers who enjoy solving complex technical problems, building robust verification environments and working on products that will be used in millions of vehicles worldwide.
If you’re looking for more technical ownership, long-term career progression and the chance to work alongside some of the industry’s most experienced engineers, this could be an excellent opportunity.
The Role
You’ll join a collaborative verification team developing complex automotive SoCs and IPs, working closely with RTL designers, architects and software engineers throughout the full development lifecycle.
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.
