Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering Manager

Lead Electronics Innovation for Next-Generation Semiconductor Metrology

£65,000 - £83,000 + EMI Share Options + Private Healthcare + 3x Death in Serviced + Hybrid Working

Would you enjoy leading the electronics and instrumentation capability behind technology that is helping semiconductor manufacturers push the limits of what is physically possible?

Infinitesima develops world-leading metrology solutions used by some of the most advanced semiconductor organisations in the world. Supported by Applied Ventures and backed by a growing global customer base, we're scaling rapidly and investing heavily in our engineering capability.

We're looking for an experienced Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering Manager to lead a team responsible for the precision measurement, signal acquisition and instrumentation systems at the heart of our products.

This is a rare opportunity to combine:

• Technical leadership
• People leadership
• Semiconductor technology
• Precision instrumentation
• Hands-on engineering

You'll influence both engineering strategy and product direction while remaining close enough to the technology to solve complex technical challenges when needed.

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.

Your recruitment journey:

We will interview you: Monday to Friday UK Time 9am to 4.30pm and we'll be as flexible as we can with Global Scheduling

1st stage: (45 minute) Remote meeting to evaluate your experience and technical ability

2nd stage: (2.5 hours) Face to face onsite evaluating technical, presentation and communication skills along with your ways of working and your opportunity to to know more about us

If you're not comfortable with eye contact, let us know at the start of your interview and if REMOTE, once we've said hello, feel free to turn your camera off until the end.

Informal is absolutely fine for onsite interviews, we want you to feel comfortable when you meet us and if there's anything else we can do to support your journey, just let us know.
