Electronics Manager
About this role
Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering Manager
Lead Electronics Innovation for Next-Generation Semiconductor Metrology
£65,000 - £83,000 + EMI Share Options + Private Healthcare + 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.
Why Join Infinitesima?
You'll be working on technology that matters
Our products enable the development of next-generation semiconductor devices, supporting advances in computing, communications, AI and high-performance electronics.
You'll have genuine influence
This is not a maintenance management role. You'll help shape the future direction of our instrumentation platforms, engineering standards and technical roadmap.
You'll lead talented engineers
You'll support, mentor and develop a highly capable electronics and instrumentation team whilst helping attract the next generation of engineering talent.
You'll grow with us
We're already over 100 employees and continuing to scale as demand for our technology increases globally.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading and developing a high-performing electronics and instrumentation team
- Coaching, mentoring and supporting engineers through regular development discussions
- Building technical capability and encouraging engineering excellence
- Creating an environment where people can do their best work
Driving instrumentation and electronics strategy
- Defining instrumentation architecture and measurement system capability
- Influencing future product development and technology roadmaps
- Establishing engineering standards and best practice
Delivering world-class measurement performance
- Designing and reviewing precision measurement systems
- Ensuring signal integrity across complex instrumentation platforms
- Optimising power delivery, grounding and noise performance
- Supporting measurement validation and system characterisation
Collaborating across engineering disciplines
- Working closely with optics, controls, software, systems and mechanical engineering teams
- Supporting successful project delivery from concept through to production
- Driving technical decision-making across multidisciplinary programmes
What We're Looking For
You'll likely have gained experience in environments such as:
- Semiconductor equipment
- Semiconductor metrology
- Scientific instrumentation
- Precision measurement systems
- Test and measurement
- Photonics
- Advanced manufacturing equipment
- Capital equipment development
Essential Experience
- Leadership of electronics or instrumentation engineering teams
- Analogue and mixed-signal electronics design
- PCB design and signal integrity
- Precision measurement and sensor systems
- Low-noise amplifier design and selection
- ADC and DAC architecture and implementation
- Signal generation, conditioning and acquisition
- Power distribution and grounding within sensitive systems
- Product lifecycle management and engineering change control
- Cross-functional engineering leadership
Highly Desirable
- Semiconductor metrology systems
- Semiconductor capital equipment
- Precision positioning systems
- Piezo drive systems
- EMC and environmental considerations
- Frequency domain analysis
- Instrumentation simulation and PCB design tools
- NPI and manufacturing support
Location & Working Pattern
We recognise the value of flexibility and offer a hybrid working model wherever possible. Most employees work onsite three days per week, although roles involving laboratory, instrumentation or operational responsibilities may require a greater onsite presence.
Company at a glance
Infinitesima was spun out of the University of Bristol in 2001 and has been developing innovative metrology solutions which improve speed and precision in the manufacture of semiconductors. The company’s technology combines the 3-dimensional surface detection capability of atomic force microscopy (AFM), with high-speed laser activation and the accuracy of interferometry. The Rapid Probe Microscope (RPM™) is protected by an extensive patent portfolio. The company’s RPM™ technology is being used by leading semiconductor equipment companies globally. Semiconductor devices provide the foundations on which progress in the technology sector are enabled. From Smartphones to Artificial Intelligence, 5G communications to autonomous vehicles, all are made possible through advances in semiconductor processes. Scaling these processes requires sub-nanometer measurement of increasingly complex 3D structures to enable more powerful devices.
Based in Abingdon, UK, we are a high calibre team of 80 people and continue to grow. We are backed by global financial and industry investors including Applied Ventures, the strategic venture arm of the industry leading equipment company.
