Abingdon, Oxfordshire
At Infinitesima, we're developing breakthrough metrology technology that enables semiconductor manufacturers to see and measure features at atomic scale.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Systems Engineer who thrives on solving complex technical problems and enjoys understanding how entire systems behave.
This is a rare opportunity to work on highly sophisticated instrumentation that combines precision mechanics, optics, electronics, software and automation within one of the UK's fastest-growing semiconductor technology companies.
If you're naturally curious, enjoy troubleshooting difficult technical challenges and want exposure to cutting-edge technology, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll be working with:
✅ Advanced semiconductor metrology systems
✅ Nanometre-scale positioning technology
✅ Precision opto-mechanical assemblies
✅ Scientific instrumentation
✅ High-performance electronics and control systems
✅ Complex software and hardware interactions
Rather than focusing on a single discipline, you'll develop expertise across entire systems and become one of the key technical problem-solvers within the business.
- Investigate complex system issues across customer, manufacturing and development environments.
- Support customer-facing teams with advanced troubleshooting and technical escalation activities.
- Diagnose issues spanning mechanical, optical, electronic and software subsystems.
- Drive rapid resolution of technically challenging customer issues.
- Investigate performance issues across highly integrated precision instruments.
- Reproduce and analyse customer-reported faults.
- Understand interactions between hardware, software and environmental conditions.
- Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to identify solutions.
- Perform detailed technical investigations and failure analysis.
- Identify corrective and preventative actions.
- Support implementation of design improvements.
- Contribute to enhanced reliability, performance and robustness.
- Troubleshoot issues during assembly, integration and system testing.
- Support new product introduction activities.
- Assist with validation and verification activities.
- Contribute to technical documentation and training materials.
- Develop troubleshooting procedures and diagnostic workflows.
- Create technical best-practice guidance.
