• Coordinate technical work allocation across internal and external development teams, aligning scope, deliverables, and timelines with the architecture roadmap

• Oversee high-performance computing solutions designed to process large-scale, complex metrology data

• Guide the speed optimisation of algorithms for measurement data interpretation, utilising high-performance computing infrastructure

• Define clear technical agreements with external development partners on deliverables and how they are qualified, ensuring alignment with the overall architectural direction

• Dive into technical problems at any level of the stack when needed, providing hands‑on expertise on the most challenging issues

Benefits:

• Competitive salary + benefits package

• Employee Share Ownership Plan

• Learning and development budget to support your professional growth

• Flexible working arrangements

Invisix Measuring Systems

Semiconductor manufacturers can't build what they can't measure. At Invisix, we're solving one of the most technically demanding problems in chip manufacturing: reconstructing the detailed 3D geometry of the most advanced next‑generation devices.

Founded by two ASML veterans with deep roots in short wavelength metrology, we've spent years de‑risking this technology. Now we're building the team to bring it to market. If you love to take ownership, collaborate closely with innovators who care deeply about their contributions, and want your work to matter at the frontier of what's physically possible, this is the place to be.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Invisix, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive culture where ideas and humans thrive. Our recruitment reflects this commitment. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and will judge every candidate on their merits and what they can contribute to our team.

We value people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability or any other aspect of your identity. We're looking for talented, driven individuals who share our values of integrity, collaboration, and making an impact. If you believe you can thrive with us, we want to hear from you.
