United Kingdom Flexciton Full time

Why Flexciton and this opportunity

At Flexciton, we work with high-tech factories built with investments worth hundreds of millions of dollars, producing advanced chips at the atomic level. It can take up to nine months to fabricate these cutting-edge products.

We are proud to be the only SaaS product in the world that plans and schedules production in high-tech semiconductor fabs, using complex algorithms in real-time, all from our London office.

Our technology consistently delivers the best production schedules, and leading companies like Seagate and Microchip trust Flexciton to run their production 24/7. With operations across the US, Europe, and expansion into Asia, we are on a path to realise our vision for the Autonomous Factory.

About the Role: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), where you will face unique challenges in testing our optimization-based technology.

Our solutions drive manufacturing processes that generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually. The complexity of the systems we model and the trillions of alternative solutions we evaluate make interpreting the output of our technology a significant challenge.

Our customers rely on us to deliver robust, resilient, and secure products to run their mission-critical operations, and quality assurance is essential to our success.

Over the next 12 months, we are expanding our product offerings and increasing the number of factories we support, which will require even more automation. We generate more than 10,000 schedules daily to operate hundreds of multimillion-dollar semiconductor manufacturing equipment in photolithography, etching, metal deposition, and metrology.
