Workshop Engineer – Software & Systems
Bedford
Are you an experienced engineer who is equally comfortable working with software and systems as you are with physical equipment? We’re recruiting for an established global technology business looking to add a Workshop Engineer to its technical operation in Bedford.
This isn’t a traditional nuts-and-bolts workshop role. The equipment you’ll work with combines electronics, software, connectivity, and increasingly intelligent technology, so we’re looking for someone with a practical engineering background and strong IT/software capability.
The Role
Working predominantly from the Bedford facility, you’ll take ownership of sophisticated technical equipment before it reaches customers.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Pre-staging and configuring equipment ahead of installation
- Installing and updating software and firmware
- Configuring equipment to customer requirements
- Troubleshooting hardware and software faults
- Testing, validating, and completing quality checks
- Diagnosing technical issues and identifying solutions
- Maintaining, repairing, and upgrading demonstration and loan equipment
- Supporting the evaluation and testing of new products
- Completing technical and configuration documentation
- Working closely with field service, support, and project teams
- Occasional field-based technical support when required
- Attending manufacturer and product training
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.
You’ll be given plenty of autonomy and trusted to manage your workload, solve problems, and ensure equipment is configured correctly and ready on time.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to be a programmer or software developer, but you should be confident working with modern software-driven equipment.
Experience across some of the following would be particularly relevant:
- Software installation and configuration
- Windows-based systems
- Hardware/software troubleshooting
- Networking and connectivity
- Firmware and software updates
- Equipment configuration
- Testing and validation
- Diagnostics and root-cause analysis
- Electrical/electronic equipment
- Technical documentation
Above all, we’re looking for someone reliable, organized, technically curious, and comfortable working independently.
An HNC/BTEC Level 4 or equivalent in Electrical/Electronic Engineering would be advantageous, although strong hands-on experience will also be considered. A full UK driving licence is required.

Your Background
We’re open-minded on industry background. Relevant experience could come from:
- Digital print or imaging equipment
- Electronics
- IT hardware
- Banking or cash-handling technology
- Medical or laboratory equipment
- Scientific instrumentation
- AV technology
- Automation
- Other software-controlled capital equipment
This could also be an excellent move for an experienced Field Service Engineer looking to come off the road while retaining the technical variety, diagnostics, and problem-solving aspects of field service.
Package
- Up to £35,000 salary
- 10% performance bonus
- Enhanced employer pension contribution
- Private medical and life assurance
- 26 days holidays plus bank holidays
You'll also receive comprehensive product and technical training, with ongoing development opportunities.
If you enjoy figuring out how hardware, software, and systems work together and want a stable, autonomous technical role with a global technology business, we’d love to hear from you.
