About Camtek

Camtek is a global leader in high-end inspection and metrology equipment for the semiconductor industry. Our systems play a critical role in wafer inspection and measurement throughout production processes. With a strong focus on advanced scanning technologies, we drive innovation in semiconductor manufacturing, supported by a global sales and customer service network.

Camtek's R&D division is looking for a Computer Systems Engineer to design, optimize, and scale the advanced computing infrastructure that powers our next-generation systems. This is an R&D engineering role focused on system architecture, performance engineering, and high-throughput computing — not an IT support or helpdesk position. You'll work alongside hardware and software R&D teams to push the performance, reliability, and scalability of the compute platforms behind our products.

Description

• Architect, analyze, and optimize computing system designs — CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, and networking — for R&D compute environments.
• Design and tune high-performance computing (HPC) and embedded system architectures (advantage).
• Engineer and support Windows and Linux environments as part of R&D infrastructure, including virtualization platforms.
• Design and optimize networking architecture for compute clusters: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, and high-throughput protocols (Ethernet, InfiniBand, RDMA).
• Build automation and tooling (scripting) for system monitoring, configuration, and deployment at scale.
• Profile and optimize system performance, resource allocation, and workload distribution across compute infrastructure.
• Lead deployments, upgrades, and lifecycle maintenance of R&D compute systems.
• Partner cross-functionally with IT, DevOps, and Software Engineering to align infrastructure with R&D product needs.
• Produce technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and SOPs for systems you design and maintain.
