About the Role

The candidate will contribute to the development of innovative solutions, algorithms, protocols and systems addressing the challenges of future wireless systems. We are seeking a candidate to be a part of a highly skilled team of engineers/researchers responsible for developing the next generation of wireless communication technologies.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites 7 global organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC), and provides their members with a stable environment to produce the Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies. The project covers cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications. The widely used cellular technologies 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G NR have been developed via a global effort in 3GPP. Currently 3GPP is in the midst of developing the new generation of wireless technology, 6G.

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.
