Test Development Engineer
As manufacturing systems become more advanced, the software that controls and validates them becomes increasingly important. This opportunity sits within an established engineering team responsible for developing and maintaining sophisticated automated test systems used to validate highly technical products before they reach customers.
Working as part of a specialist team, you'll be involved in the development of software that controls automated test equipment, interfaces with production systems and helps ensure products meet the highest quality standards. The role combines software engineering with a practical understanding of electronics and control systems, making it ideal for someone who enjoys seeing their code interact with real-world hardware.
Day to day, you could be:
- Developing new software functionality
- Improving existing automated test platforms
- Troubleshooting system issues
- Supporting the introduction of new products into manufacturing
You'll work closely with software, electronics and mechanical engineers, gaining exposure to a wide range of technologies whilst helping deliver solutions that directly support production and engineering teams.
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.

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.
The team is well established but entering an exciting period of succession planning and growth. With several experienced engineers providing significant technical expertise, there is a clear opportunity for someone to develop into a senior position over time. Longer term, there is also potential to progress into a technical leadership role as the team continues to evolve.
Whilst experience with LabVIEW would be beneficial, the business is open to engineers from a broader software development background. If you've developed software for industrial systems, automation equipment, production machinery, test equipment or similar environments and enjoy solving complex technical problems, you'll find plenty of opportunity to make an impact in this role.
This position would suit someone who enjoys a combination of software development, engineering problem-solving and working closely with physical systems. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of projects, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and help develop the next generation of automated test solutions.
