The Team
Our team specialises in automated testing across every stage of product assembly—from PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) validation through intermediate stages to End-of-Line (EOL) testing. Our mission is to ensure product quality through reliable, scalable automated test systems.
Our work includes:
- Internally developed test platforms
- Specialised production test stations tailored to specific needs
- A global test results database
- Data visualisation and analysis tools
- Growing drivers for measurement equipment and test hardware
We collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to facilitate seamless system integration.
Role Overview
As a Test System Software Engineer, you’ll bridge software, hardware, and manufacturing—developing, maintaining, and improving test systems while working directly with production teams to diagnose and resolve issues.
Your impact will shape: ✔ Manufacturing yield (improving product success rates) ✔ Failure detection (early issue identification) ✔ Production throughput (streamlining workflows)
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.
