What this job asks for AI summary
A systems/subsystems engineering role at a semiconductor equipment company, focused on defining, designing, and qualifying complex hardware and software subsystems. The position spans electrical, mechanical, physics, and algorithm domains — from architecture brainstorming and prototype builds through system integration and reliability testing. It suits an experienced engineer comfortable leading technical design decisions and supporting field teams on-site as needed.

We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (6)
This posting describes a hardware/systems engineering role (subsystem design, prototype qualification, reliability testing, semiconductor gas/chemical delivery) rather than a software or computer-science occupation. None of the standard computer/mathematical SOC codes fit cleanly; 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the closest available option, but the role is arguably better classified under an engineering SOC (e.g., 17-2199 Electrical/Electronics Engineers) that is not available in the permitted code list.
The job location is not specified in the posting beyond 'United States of America'; no CBSA could be determined.
Semiconductor gas and chemical delivery systems knowledge is explicitly flagged as 'preferred' in the posting.
The 7–10 years experience range maps to a minimum of 7 years for the overall years minimum.
Travel is stated at 10% of the time; relocation is not offered.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): semiconductor gas delivery systems.
