Role Overview
We are looking for a technically strong Technical Director to lead the technical direction of a specialist engineering business delivering bespoke Automated Test Equipment (ATE), test systems and test fixtures for customers across aerospace, defence, automotive, medical and industrial sectors.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role. The successful candidate will provide strategic leadership while retaining a strong understanding of the underlying engineering, particularly across ATE, electronics, hardware, software and mechanical integration.
You will lead technical strategy, support engineering teams, review and challenge technical solutions, and work closely with customers from requirements and system architecture through to design, build, integration and commissioning.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
