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.

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.

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

• 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

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,…
