Junior Technical Development Engineer // Liquid Biopsy // Microfluidics // Guildford

You are an early-career engineer with a strong academic foundation and a clear desire to apply your knowledge to real-world, high-impact challenges.

You want to move beyond theory and contribute to the development and improvement of a complex, clinically relevant medical device.

We are partnering with a pioneering biotech company developing microfluidics-based liquid biopsy technologies to capture and analyse rare cancer cells.

At a pivotal point in their growth, the company is actively redeveloping and improving its core instrument platform, backed by board-approved investment, strong external collaborations, and an ambitious roadmap.

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.
