Systems Design Engineer
We’re looking for Systems Design Engineers to join a growing team delivering advanced integrated operational systems used in complex, real-world environments across land and maritime domains.
This role would suit engineers from sectors such as defence, aerospace, marine, rail, automotive or any industry working with complex, integrated systems.
The position is hybrid, with 3 to 4 days per week on site in Bristol due to the nature of the work.
** SC clearance is required for this role **
The role
You’ll play a key part in the design and development of integrated operational systems software, supporting both enhancements to existing platforms and the development of new capabilities.
This is a role at the heart of the full product lifecycle, working closely with systems architects, software teams and integration specialists. You’ll gain a clear view of how complex systems are designed, built and used in operational environments.
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.
