About this Opportunity

Software Engineer - Industrial Automation, Semiconductor & Scientific Instrumentation (Talent Pool) - all grades

Private Healthcare (AXA) | 3x Salary Life Assurance | Annual Bonus | EMI Share Scheme | Hybrid Working

Pay ranges:

£32,000 – £50,000 (Junior roles)

£50,000 – £70,000 (Senior roles)

Salaries are variable. We will always advise you of the role and pay range which aligns to the role we are considering you for if you are invited to attend an assessment.

Location: Abingdon, Oxfordshire Working Pattern: Hybrid (typically 3 days per week onsite)

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.

Why Infinitesima?

Based in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, Infinitesima develops advanced semiconductor metrology technology that is helping enable the next generation of electronics manufacturing.

Our technology combines cutting-edge software, precision mechanics, motion control and nanoscale measurement science to solve some of the most challenging problems in semiconductor inspection.

We're a growing team of more than 150 scientists, engineers and business professionals, backed by world-class investors including Applied Ventures, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials, one of the global leaders in semiconductor equipment.

This is an opportunity to register your interest with a company where software engineering directly influences the performance of highly advanced scientific and industrial systems.

Technologies and Skills We're Actively Interested In

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)

What We're Interested In

We're particularly interested in hearing from engineers who have experience in one or more of the following environments:

• Industrial automation

• Motion control systems

• Robotics

• Scientific instrumentation

• Semiconductor equipment

• Metrology systems

• Manufacturing automation

• Control systems engineering

• High-precision electromechanical systems

• Research and development environments

For early-career engineers, a strong academic background in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, physics or another scientific discipline is highly valuable.

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
