Engineer the Future of Precision Sensing

Join an ambitious, cutting-edge deep-tech company at the forefront of advanced sensor innovation. They are now seeking a talented Systems Engineer to play a critical role in shaping next-generation sensor control systems.

This is a unique opportunity to work on complex, high-performance control systems in an innovative environment. You will take ownership of control loop algorithm design and implementation, contributing directly to the development of advanced technologies from concept through to validation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop sensor control algorithms to meet performance and system requirements
  • Model, simulate, and experimentally validate control systems
  • Define requirements for analogue and digital electronics (MCU, FPGA, ASIC, DAC/ADC)
  • Support implementation of control algorithms in embedded software and firmware

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.
