We are looking for talented graduate engineers who are excited by new technologies and challenges to join us on our scale-up journey. As a graduate engineer, you’ll work closely with experienced team members, you’ll help to deliver project work and get exposed to a wealth of different technologies and engineering approaches. You’ll gain valuable experience of working in a scale-up SME environment with increased exposure to business operations – and develop faster as a result. Technical Specialisms you could be exposed to, or focus solely on, include:
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 system 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.
DevOps and Cloud Engineering DevOps and Cloud engineering at Rowden is varied – you might work 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.
