H-Power is looking for a graduate or early-career Systems Engineer to join its growing five-person Systems Engineering team.
This is an opportunity to build broad, practical systems experience while contributing to the development of hydrogen-generation and clean-power technologies.
You will work across the full product lifecycle and interact with teams throughout the business, including engineering, project planning, finance, and customer-facing functions. The environment is dynamic and fast-moving, so the role will suit someone who is proactive, confident, and motivated by the opportunity to make a visible contribution.
Your immediate focus will be requirements management and verification and validation (V&V), helping the team work through an important delivery backlog. As you develop, your remit will broaden across technical delivery and product engineering, giving you cradle-to-grave exposure to how H-Power's products are defined, delivered, documented, and supported in the field.
What you'll be doing
- Support the capture, review, and management of stakeholder, system, and subsystem requirements.
- Maintain clear traceability between requirements, system design, and verification evidence.
- Support V&V planning, evidence management, and technical readiness activities.
- Contribute to technical assessments, option evaluations, and trade studies that support project decisions.
- Help define system architectures, functional breakdowns, interfaces, states, and modes.
- Prepare and maintain specifications, reports, plans, interface documents, and other technical deliverables.
- Support product engineering across the full lifecycle, including customer-facing documentation and technical product information.
- Work across multidisciplinary teams to understand technical issues, dependencies, and system-level impacts.
- Support product compliance, configuration management, change control, and engineering governance.
- Contribute to the continued development of H-Power's systems engineering processes, templates, and ways of working.
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.
