Senior Developer (LabVIEW)

Would you like to be instrumental in enabling the next generation of semiconductors?

As a Senior Developer (LabVIEW), you will be building the real-time software that sits at the heart of our technology. You’ll be shaping how our systems control, measure and process data at high speed and high precision. If you enjoy owning complex technical problems and seeing your work run in production, this one’s for you.

Reward and Benefits:
£50,000 to £60,000  (depending on experience)

25 days annual leave, death in service and private health care benefits, personal pension contributions of 4% with salary sacrifice and a generous EMI Share scheme

Based in Abingdon, Oxford, UK, we are a high calibre team of 100+ people and we are growing fast. We are backed by global financial and industry investors including Applied Ventures, the strategic venture arm of a leading equipment company.

About the role:

As a Senior Developer (LabVIEW), you are joining a small, specialist real-time software team. You are designing, building and maintaining LabVIEW code running on NI PXI Real-Time Controllers and dual FlexRIO FPGAs, alongside supporting desktop-side VIs and post-processing tools.

This is a hands-on role where you are writing production code daily, reviewing work across the team, and collaborating closely with systems, R&D and applications engineers as our product roadmap evolves.

We are looking for Developers who specialise in LabVIEW.

A typical day for a Senior Developer (LabVIEW), could look like this:

• Designing and developing LabVIEW RT software handling data acquisition, control systems and communication between processes


• Building FPGA functionality (LabVIEW FPGA / FlexRIO) including signal conditioning, control loops, scanner drivers and high-speed data pipelines


• Managing RT–FPGA communication using DMA, buffering and synchronisation mechanisms


• Reviewing code to ensure it meets architecture, quality and maintainability standards


• Writing and maintaining unit tests and contributing to continuous integration improvements


• Working within 3-week sprint cycles, taking part in planning, stand-ups and retrospectives


• Collaborating with systems and R&D teams to turn hardware concepts into robust software solutions


• Supporting testing activities with SQA engineers, both in simulation and on hardware


• Documenting your work clearly and keeping technical knowledge up to date


• Mentoring other developers and sharing good engineering practices across the team

Who we are looking for:

To succeed as a Senior LabVIEW Software Developer, we do need you to have experience of:

• Developing LabVIEW software in a production environment


• Working with LabVIEW FPGA, including pipelining, fixed-point arithmetic and target communication


• Using NI hardware such as PXI systems, Real-Time Controllers and FPGA-based platforms


• Writing structured, maintainable LabVIEW code using recognised design patterns


• Using Git in a team setting with branching, pull requests and code reviews


• Debugging complex systems across both real-time and FPGA environments

Nice to have:

• Experience using Python for scripting, automation or data processing


• Understanding of precision measurement systems, optics or similar technologies


• Knowledge of control systems and PID tuning


• Familiarity with digital signal processing concepts


• Engagement with the LabVIEW community or open-source tools


• LabVIEW certifications (CLD or CLA)

Education / Qualifications:
Either a degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or a clear equivalent path through relevant experience or hands-on development work.

We look for the five Cs from our colleagues:

• Customer Focused – staying connected to customer needs and delivering real value


• Caring – supporting each other and creating an environment where people can do their best work


• Collaborative – sharing ideas openly and solving problems together


• Commitment – taking ownership and following through with integrity


• Continuous Improvement – learning, adapting and always looking to do things better

A bit about us:

Infinitesima is a privately owned company founded in 2001, as a spin-out of the University of Bristol. Our team of scientists and engineers is focused on enabling the next generation of semiconductor devices through innovative, high-performance products used globally.

Our strength comes from different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. We are building an environment where everyone can contribute, grow and thrive. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, just let us know — we’ve got you.

A note on how we run interviews:
We use AI only to transcribe our interviews so we can focus fully on the conversation. It does not take part in decision making — all hiring decisions are made by people.

Location and work pattern:
You will be based on-site in Abingdon for your first three months. After that, we offer flexible hybrid working where possible.
