Renishaw - Embedded Software Placement Year

Renishaw offers exciting opportunities for placement students on a year-long immersion programme designed to develop ambitious, talented, and self-motivated individuals into skilled experts in their chosen field.

What will I gain from this placement year?

Each placement will involve working on live projects under the guidance and expertise of experienced colleagues. As well as gaining hands on experience in your chosen field, you will have the opportunity to connect with people working in the business and discuss your career ambitions and ideas with employees in similar roles. 

What will I be doing on the placement?

Successful applicants are placed directly into a Renishaw embedded engineering team, contributing directly to our current product development, as a means of learning embedded engineering in industry.

You will work on a variety of platforms such as very low level dedicated operating systems, standard Real-Time operating systems in sequential processing and VHDL programming in FPGA's when parallel processing is required. Teams will pitch the work at a level geared for the individual, with progressive personal development aimed at creating a confident and productive embedded engineer over the course of the placement.

A successful placement provides an excellent opportunity for you to be considered for a graduate scheme position in the future.

Where will I be working?

This role is based at our New Mills site near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire. As Renishaw is based in a semi-rural location, it is essential that applicants have their own form of transport or are willing to relocate to the local area. The site is around 25-30 minutes drive from Bristol so easily commutable by car.

What skills and qualifications do I need?

The Embedded Software placement scheme at Renishaw is suitable for students who are required to undertake a sandwich placement as part of a degree course in Electronic Engineering, Robotics, Computing for Real-Time Systems or related degree.
