Computer System Engineer

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. Requirements Strong grounding in computer systems architecture — CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and networking design — Must Hands-on experience with Windows & Linux systems engineering — Must Experience with virtualization technologies — Must Scripting/programming proficiency (PowerShell, Bash, Python, C#, or similar) — Must Solid understanding of networking protocols and security architecture — Must Background in high-performance computing or embedded systems — advantage Experience leading system deployments, upgrades, and maintenance planning Ability to produce clear technical documentation and system architecture diagrams Strong analytical/troubleshooting skills for complex system-level issues Comfort working under pressure on critical infrastructure problems Strong collaboration skills across engineering disciplines Excellent written and verbal communication
