Build Technology That's Shaping the Future of Semiconductors
At Infinitesima, you'll be building, integrating and testing advanced semiconductor metrology systems used by some of the world's leading chip manufacturers to measure structures at the nanoscale.
This isn't a traditional production environment. You'll work on complex, low-volume, high-value systems that combine precision mechanics, electronics, optics and photonics. Every build matters, and the work you do will directly influence the performance of cutting-edge scientific instruments used throughout the global semiconductor industry.
If you enjoy solving technical challenges, working with precision hardware and taking pride in delivering exceptional quality, we'd love to hear from you.
Why This Role Is Different
- Building advanced semiconductor systems rather than repetitive production-line products
- Working with cutting-edge optics, photonics, electronics and precision mechanics
- Collaborating closely with Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams
- Playing a direct role in product performance, reliability and quality
- Gaining exposure to technologies rarely found outside leading semiconductor equipment companies
- Joining a growing company where your ideas and expertise can have real impact
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and testing complex optical, electro-mechanical and electronic sub-assemblies
- Integrating critical modules into advanced semiconductor metrology systems
- Following detailed build, assembly and test procedures
- Diagnosing manufacturing and assembly issues and helping drive effective resolutions
- Working closely with Manufacturing, Engineering and Supply Chain teams to improve product quality and efficiency
- Supporting root cause investigations and continuous improvement activities
- Maintaining high standards within laboratory and cleanroom environments
- Ensuring assemblies are delivered to quality, cost and schedule requirements
- Contributing to a safe, organised and high-performing manufacturing environment
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
