Junior Data Scientist

Join to apply for the Junior Data Scientist role at Infinitesima Limited.

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 over 90 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.

Location: Abingdon

Reporting to: Data Analyst Manager.

The Opportunity: The prime function of the role is to translate the measurements made by our tool into actionable results for our customers within Infinitesima. The individual will join our hi-tech team in developing the advanced algorithms within a prototyped workflow and test to ensure they have the robustness to be handed over to a customer for their independent use.

• Writing code for the analysis of tool data, bridging the gap between raw data and customer interpretation.
• Ideate, design, prototype, test and communicate software components in response to identified technology/data analysis/market application gaps within realistic and defined timescales.
• Work effectively within a Development and Engineering team to fully understand how the context of the data impacts the design of appropriate data analysis tools.
• Work with the engineering team to effectively transition modules from R&D to an engineering software team to facilitate rapid incorporation into customer-facing software.

Essential

• Proficiency coding in Python for data analysis
• Understanding of software development best practices, e.g. clean code, CI/CD
• Expertise in algorithm development where requirements may be specified by others.
• Experience in image analysis (e.g. segmentation, filtering, model fitting, etc.)

Preferred

• Experience in 3-d data sets (such as SEM/AFM or other).

• Engages with other members of the company to bring the best solutions to the problem.
• Recognises the value that fellow company members bring to enhance own abilities.
• React and address both short- and medium-term issues and proactively take action to solve them.
• Focus on the company goal, avoid distraction, making timely decisions to achieve the target.

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in relevant degree, coupled with industrial experience.
• Experience at a local level in Infinitesima’s core technology areas

Salary range: £36,000 - £42,000
