Systems Integration Engineer – Long-Term Contract
On-site – West Sussex
Long-term temporary assignment (via Hays)
We are currently recruiting for a Systems Integration Engineer to join a high-performing Total Vehicle Validation & Integration team supporting programmes for a prestigious, ultra-luxury automotive manufacturer.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the delivery of low-volume, high-complexity vehicles, where quality, craftsmanship, and engineering precision are critical.
The Role
As a Systems Integration Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring that vehicle systems are fully validated, production-ready, and meet exacting standards. Working at the interface of engineering and manufacturing, you will help ensure seamless integration into a bespoke, highly refined production environment.
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.
