Why join Infinitesima?
Infinitesima develops advanced semiconductor metrology technology that enables the next generation of chips powering AI, advanced computing and future electronics.
You'll be working on systems operating at nanometre-scale precision, combining real-time software, FPGA technology, hardware control and advanced data processing to solve measurement challenges at the forefront of semiconductor innovation.
This is a rare opportunity to work in an environment where software, electronics and physics come together. Your code won't be hidden behind layers of abstraction. You'll see it directly influence how complex hardware behaves and contributes to the manufacture of next-generation technology.
Alongside competitive benefits and EMI share options, you'll join a highly specialised team where engineers have real technical ownership, collaborate closely with subject matter experts and play a key role in shaping the future of the product.

A bit about us: 
Infinitesima is a privately owned company founded in 2001, as a spin-out of the University of Bristol, by CTO Professor Andrew Humphris. Our dynamic team of scientists and engineers is focussed on enabling the next generation of semiconductor devices through delivery of innovative products to customers around the world. 
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.
