Leading customer-facing technical projects, demonstrations or evaluations
Supporting advanced metrology or scientific instrumentation systems
Characterisation of complex materials, structures or semiconductor devices
Diagnosing and resolving multidisciplinary technical issues
Strong presentation and stakeholder communication skills
Ability to translate customer requirements into actionable development opportunities
Experience working across engineering, scientific and commercial teams

Nice to have

Semiconductor process development experience
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
Optical systems, lasers or fibre-optic technologies
Electronics or precision electromechanical systems
Product marketing, technical positioning or customer storytelling
Experience influencing product roadmaps through customer insight
Cleanroom or semiconductor fabrication environments

Qualifications

Master's degree, PhD or equivalent experience in Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Nanotechnology or a related scientific discipline

Significant commercial experience gained within AFM, semiconductor metrology or advanced scientific instrumentation environments

Why join Infinitesima?

Infinitesima develops advanced Atomic Force Microscopy technology designed specifically for semiconductor manufacturing applications.

As semiconductor devices continue to scale in complexity, accurate nanoscale measurement becomes increasingly critical. Our technology helps leading semiconductor manufacturers solve some of the most demanding metrology challenges in the industry.

You'll join a team of scientists and engineers working at the forefront of AFM innovation, where your expertise will influence both customer success and the future direction of our products.

This role offers exceptional visibility, international exposure and the opportunity to become a recognised technical authority within one of the world's most specialised technology sectors.

A note on how we run interviews:

We use AI only to transcribe interviews so we can stay fully present with you. It plays no part in decision-making — all hiring decisions are made by people.

Location and work pattern:

You'll be based in Abingdon (OX14 1RG).
We ask new starters to be on-site during the first 3 months, with flexible hybrid working available after probation.
