Infinitesima develops advanced semiconductor metrology technology that enables the next generation of chips powering AI, advanced computing and future electronics.
This is an opportunity to work on genuinely challenging engineering problems where software, electronics, control systems and physics come together. You'll join a highly specialised team building systems that operate at the limits of speed, precision and measurement capability.
Not many software engineers get to see their code directly influencing how next-generation semiconductor devices are manufactured. Here, you will.
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.
Note to recruitment agencies: Infinitesima Ltd only works with approved agencies and does not accept unsolicited agency CVs.
