Applications Engineer, Semiconductor Metrology / AFM
アプリケーションエンジニア｜半導体計測・AFM
Japan | Yokohama / Customer Site
Graduate to Senior level | 新卒・第二新卒・経験者・シニア
On-site role | Up to 50% travel | International training
You'll also receive our local Japan benefits package and opportunities to develop your career within a growing international semiconductor technology business.
Your AFM expertise could help shape the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing.
If you work with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), semiconductor metrology, advanced instrumentation or nanoscale measurement, we'd like to talk to you.
At Infinitesima, we're developing AFM technology specifically for the demands of semiconductor manufacturing.
Our technology helps semiconductor manufacturers measure and understand increasingly complex structures at the nanoscale, and we're growing our Applications Engineering capability in Japan.
We're interested in people at all career stages, from talented graduates and early-career scientists through to experienced Applications Engineers and recognised AFM or semiconductor metrology specialists.
The role
You'll become one of the technical links between Infinitesima's AFM technology and our semiconductor customers in Japan.
Depending on your experience, you'll:
For experienced hires, there is scope to become a recognised technical authority within our global Applications Engineering organisation.
Who we're looking for
Experienced candidates
You may already be working as an:
Experience with AFM or SPM is particularly attractive.
We'd also love to hear from semiconductor professionals working with:
You don't need to tick every box.
Specialist people rarely fit neatly into a job description.
Graduates and early-career scientists
Already getting hands-on with AFM, SPM or nanoscale characterisation at university or during postgraduate research?
Don't assume you need years of semiconductor industry experience.
We'd particularly like to hear from graduates, Master's and PhD candidates in:
Research or practical laboratory experience involving AFM/SPM, surface characterisation or advanced instrumentation could be a great starting point.
Japan location and travel
This bit matters, so we're being upfront.
This is not a remote or hybrid position.
If international exposure, customer-facing technical problem solving and being close to leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing sounds exciting rather than daunting, you'll probably enjoy this role.
Why Infinitesima?
This isn't Applications Engineering where you're simply supporting an established product.
You'll be joining a growing technology company tackling measurement problems created by the increasing complexity of semiconductor manufacturing.
That means:
If you're already an AFM specialist, we'd particularly like to hear from you.
There aren't many of you. We know that.
Right to work in Japan
Candidates must already have the legal right to work in Japan at the time of application.
We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.
Our interview process
We want the process to give you a genuine opportunity to understand us as well as allowing us to understand you.
Stage 1
45-minute remote interview
A conversation about your technical background, experience and what you're looking for next.
Stage 2
Approximately 2.5 hours, normally remote
We will be exploring:
Where one of our global colleagues is available locally in Japan, we may arrange the second stage face-to-face instead.
We'll work around the time difference between Japan and the UK as far as reasonably possible.
Casual interview attire is absolutely fine.
If you'd prefer not to maintain eye contact or would feel more comfortable turning your camera off after introductions during a remote interview, that's fine too. If there's another reasonable adjustment that would help you perform at your best, please tell us.
