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
