Technical Project Manager - Contract - Embedded Software / Electronics - Belfast
We're recruiting a Technical Project Manager for a 6 month contract with our client, a global electronics business operating in automotive electronic devices and electrification, based in Belfast.
This is a genuinely technical Project Manager role, overseeing a hardware and embedded software product through its full lifecycle - from concept and requirements, through validation and production readiness, to launch.
You'll be the key point of contact for the customer, aligning internal hardware and software engineering teams, tracking progress against the plan, and ensuring milestones are hit on a safety-critical, ASPICE-aligned programme.
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.
