Take ownership of the FPGA technology behind some of the world’s most advanced quantum computing systems.

We are supporting a leading quantum computing company in Oxford that is pushing trapped-ion technology towards larger, more powerful and commercially scalable systems. They are looking to add a Staff FPGA Engineer to take a senior technical role within their FPGA team.

This is a highly technical, hands-on position where you’ll architect and develop critical signal processing and control functions. You’ll work across RTL design, verification, modelling, hardware testing, and system-level debugging, collaborating closely with electronics, software, and quantum engineering 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.
