Technical Lead (Embedded Software C/C++) | Contract

Location: Bristol
Rate: Up to £70 per hour
Contract Length: 12 Months (with a strong likelihood of extension)
Start Date: ASAP / Flexible

We're currently supporting a major engineering and technology programme within the defence sector and are looking to speak with experienced Technical Leads to join a highly skilled team working on complex, next-generation systems. This is an opportunity to provide technical leadership on advanced embedded software projects, guiding development activities while remaining close to the technology and engineering challenges.

The Role

As a Technical Lead, you'll be responsible for driving the technical direction of embedded software solutions, supporting engineering teams and ensuring software is delivered to the highest standards. You'll work closely with software, systems and hardware engineers throughout the full development lifecycle.

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.
