Infinitesima develops advanced metrology systems that help customers solve nanoscale measurement challenges in semiconductor manufacturing, materials science and nanotechnology.

• Lead, mentor and develop a growing team of Applications Engineers
• Manage delivery of our Early Access Demonstration programme
• Work directly with customers to understand use cases, technical challenges and performance requirements
• Guide customer demonstrations, feasibility studies and technical evaluations
• Act as the escalation point for complex applications and system issues
• Support pre-sales activities, technical workshops and customer engagements
• Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams to translate customer feedback into product improvements
• Define and improve application workflows, technical documentation and best practice
• Help create scalable approaches for system deployment, optimization and customer success
• Influence future product direction through customer insight and application expertise
• Support prioritisation where customer requirements, engineering resource and product maturity need careful balancing

• Applications Engineering, Systems Engineering or another customer-facing technical role
• Leading, mentoring or developing engineers within a technical environment
• Translating customer requirements into practical technical solutions
• Delivering customer demonstrations, technical evaluations and system optimization activities
• Troubleshooting complex systems and driving technical problem-solving
• Working across mechanical, electronic, software and scientific disciplines
• Communicating technical concepts clearly to customers, engineers and stakeholders
• Managing competing priorities while maintaining a strong customer experience
• Building trusted relationships with demanding technical customers

We’re especially interested in hearing from people with experience in:

• Semiconductor metrology
• Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
• Surface metrology
• Precision instrumentation
• Scientific instrumentation
• Microscopy or nanoscale measurement technologies
• Customer applications engineering
• Field applications engineering
• Customer adoption of complex technology solutions

• Experience working directly with semiconductor customers
• Experience supporting semiconductor fabs or process development teams
• Exposure to AFM, metrology, microscopy, inspection or other nanoscale measurement systems
• Experience supporting international customers and deployments
• Understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes and workflows

A degree in Physics, Engineering, Materials Science, Systems Engineering or a related discipline would be beneficial. However, we’re equally interested in people who have developed their expertise through apprenticeships, industry experience or a combination of technical and leadership progression.
