Systems Integration & Trials Engineer

Location: Bristol

Salary: Up to £45,000 depending on experience

Working model: Predominantly onsite, 4-5 days per week

Security Clearance: British Citizen or Dual UK National with British citizenship

I’m working with a leading defence technology organisation looking for a Systems Integration & Trials Engineer to join an expanding engineering team working on complex defence systems. This is a broad systems engineering role covering integration, verification and proving activities across laboratory and operational environments, with opportunities to support trials both in the UK and internationally.

The role

You’ll work alongside systems and design engineers to plan and deliver proving activities, ensuring systems are properly integrated, tested and supported through to acceptance.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Planning and carrying out systems integration, verification and proving activities
  • Preparing technical documentation and supporting trials readiness reviews
  • Working with engineering teams to establish appropriate test data and evidence
  • Supporting laboratory, ground and operational trials
  • Analysing trial results and producing technical reports
  • Investigating technical issues and working with design teams to identify solutions
  • Liaising with suppliers, partners and internal stakeholders
  • Supporting hardware and software configuration control
  • Contributing to laboratory management, safety and asset management activities
  • Travelling within the UK and overseas when required to support trials

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.
