Job Title

System Integration Engineer

Role Summary

Hands-on engineering role responsible for integrating, testing and delivering complex multi-disciplinary semiconductor equipment developed in Rehovot. The team conducts system integration for tools prior to shipment, supports R&D prototypes and new product introductions, and interacts with customers for installation and acceptance.

Primary mission: ensure systems meet specifications, schedule, and quality requirements through integration, verification, troubleshooting and on-site support.

Experience Level

Entry-level / New college grad. Guidance: 0–3 years of relevant technical experience in system integration or similarly complex technical environments.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include system-level integration, verification and field support across mechanical, electrical and optical subsystems.

• Lead and execute full system integration to meet specifications, delivery schedules and quality targets.
• Perform module- and system-level testing, functional verification, calibrations and complex troubleshooting.
• Conduct in-house customer acceptance tests and travel to customer sites for installation and on-site support (up to ~10%).
• Diagnose and repair electrical, mechanical and optical sub-assemblies; work from schematics, diagrams and plans.
• Develop, complete and maintain test procedures, logbooks and quality notifications; document findings clearly.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support design, build and test of production assemblies and NPI systems.
• Identify and implement procedural, safety and process improvements; follow safety and security policies.

Requirements

Must-have practical, hands-on skills and basic professional attributes for system integration in a production/NPI environment. Nice-to-have skills are noted when applicable.

• Practical, hands-on experience with testing, calibration and troubleshooting of electromechanical and optical systems (must-have).
