About the company

Infinitesima develops advanced semiconductor metrology technology that enables the next generation of chips powering AI, advanced computing and future electronics.

You’ll be working on systems operating at nanometre-scale precision, combining real-time software, FPGA technology, hardware control and advanced data processing to solve measurement challenges at the forefront of semiconductor innovation.

This is a rare opportunity to work in an environment where software, electronics and physics come together. Your code won’t be hidden behind layers of abstraction. You’ll see it directly influence how complex hardware behaves and contributes to the manufacture of next-generation technology.

Alongside competitive benefits and EMI share options, you’ll join a highly specialised team where engineers have real technical ownership, collaborate closely with subject matter experts and play a key role in shaping the future of the product.

A note on how we run interviews: We use AI only to transcribe our interviews so we can focus fully on the conversation. It does not take part in decision making - all hiring decisions are made by people.

Location and work pattern: You will be based on-site in Abingdon for your first three months. After that, we offer flexible hybrid working where possible.

Our strength lies in the varied perspectives that come from different cultures, experiences, and identities. We believe that true innovation is fuelled by collaboration, locally and globally. We strive to foster an environment where everyone can contribute meaningfully and thrive.If you require adjustments to take part in the recruitment process, please let us know, we’ll do our best to support you.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and aim to create a fair, supportive recruitment process. To keep things clear, this role needs someone who already has the permanent right to work in the UK. If a role calls for unique expertise that’s hard to find locally, we may explore sponsorship options - though this is uncommon. #J-18808-Ljbffr
