For more experienced engineers, experience within scientific, engineering or hardware-focused industries would be particularly relevant. This Talent Pool May Be a Good Fit If... * You've developed software that interacts with hardware, instruments or machinery * You've worked in engineering environments rather than purely commercial software settings * You enjoy solving complex technical challenges involving software, electronics and mechanical systems * You're excited by the idea of contributing to advanced semiconductor technology This Talent Pool Is Less Likely to Be Suitable If... * Your experience is primarily focused on web development * Your background is predominantly SaaS, fintech or e-commerce platforms * You have limited exposure to hardware-integrated software or engineering products Qualifications We're interested in candidates who have: * A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or a related discipline OR * Equivalent commercial experience developing complex engineering software systems, A collaborative assessment of technical capability, communication style, problem-solving approach and ways of working. You'll also have the opportunity to learn more about our technology, culture and future plans. We're committed to creating a comfortable interview experience. If eye contact feels challenging, please let us know. For remote interviews, you're welcome to switch your camera off after introductions if that helps you feel more at ease. ## Description Are you a Software Engineer who enjoys building software that controls real-world hardware rather than websites, mobile apps or business systems? Do you have experience developing software for industrial automation, scientific instrumentation, semiconductor equipment, robotics, machine control, motion systems or other complex engineering products? At Infinitesima, software engineering sits at the heart of everything we do. Our engineers develop the applications, control systems and operator interfaces that power sophisticated Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) inspection and metrology systems used by leading semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. As we prepare for significant growth over the next 6-12 months, we're building a network of talented Software Engineers across a range of experience levels, from early-career engineers through to Principal Engineers. We'd love to hear from exceptional engineers who would like to be considered as future opportunities become available., We're particularly keen to connect with Software Engineers who bring one or more of the following: * Industrial C#/.NET development experience * Desktop application development using WPF or similar frameworks * Experience with object-oriented programming languages such as C#, Java or C++ * Software development for industrial automation, robotics or machine control systems * Tool control or hardware-integrated software development * Precision motion control, mechatronics or real-time control systems * Scientific instrumentation, semiconductor equipment or metrology systems * Experience working alongside electronics, optics, hardware or mechanical engineering teams Additional experience that would be advantageous includes: * Python development * C++ development * Messaging and communication technologies such as DDS, MQTT, RabbitMQ, ZeroMQ or Named Pipes * Agile software delivery and sprint-based development environments What Future Software Engineering Opportunities Could Involve Depending on the role and level, future opportunities could include: * Designing and developing C#/.NET applications for semiconductor inspection and metrology systems * Developing software that controls precision motion systems and nanoscale positioning technologies * Building user interfaces and HMI applications using WPF and related technologies * Integrating software with motion controllers, piezo actuators, sensors and data acquisition hardware * Supporting system integration, verification, validation and software releases * Contributing to software architecture, engineering standards and best practice * Collaborating within multidisciplinary teams spanning software, electronics, optics and mechanical engineering * Mentoring and supporting less experienced engineers (senior-level roles), Future positions are expected to span multiple levels, from Software Engineer through to Principal Engineer, with compensation and responsibilities aligned to experience, capability and scope of role. By joining our Software Engineer Talent Pool, you'll be among the first professionals we consider when suitable opportunities become available. Whilst applying does not guarantee an interview or future position, it allows us to contact you directly when a role aligns with your skills and experience. Exceptional engineering needs exceptional engineers. If you're ready for your next challenge, we'd love to stay connected.
