Description
We're building the next UK-headquartered engineering powerhouse. At Rowden, we design and integrate advanced systems that sense, connect, and protect data in challenging environments where quick decisions are vital. Our solutions use intelligent automation to enhance speed and efficiency and are built to be reliable and straightforward for critical operations in remote or high-pressure settings.
Headquartered in Bristol (UK), we combine modern engineering methods with cutting-edge commercial technology to create adaptable, mission-critical systems. We focus on solving the tough challenges that others overlook, ensuring our customers can operate effectively in an ever-changing world.
We're looking for ambitious, problem-solvers ready to make an impact in a fast-growing engineering business. If you're excited by new technologies, fast decision-making, and taking on real responsibility early in your career, this is the opportunity for you.
From day one, you'll work on real projects that drive the business forward, solving complex challenges alongside experienced engineers. Our graduate scheme is designed to accelerate your growth, equipping you with the technical skills, business acumen and leadership experience needed to thrive.
As part of our rotational engineering graduate scheme, you will be exposed to the following technical specialisms (depending on your background), before you focus in on one area:
Technical Specialisms
Software Development:From bespoke mobile applications to geospatial tools, we are building software solutions for a variety of first response and national security customers.
Machine Learning:With a focus on providing intelligence at the edge using computer vision and signals intelligence algorithms and developing autonomous systems, our machine learning team works on challenging real-world problems.
Systems Engineering:Our systems engineers are focused on designing complex systems that end users want to use. They focus on the bigger picture and bridge the gaps between technical disciplines to ensure successful delivery of capability.
Radio Frequency:Many commercial and military systems depend on the radio frequency spectrum to transport data. Our focus is on designing and working with systems that can monitor this spectrum, understanding how it is being used to increase situational awareness for our customers.
Compute Infrastructure & DevOps:Compute infrastructure and DevOps at Rowden is varied – you might work on building or enhancing current capabilities in both AWS and Azure, working with a geospatial service to provide real-time situational awareness across the globe or working on niche, bespoke environments that demand the highest level of security.
