LONDON — Semiconductor production equipment company Tokyo Electron Ltd. says it requires field service engineers to joins its team based at Kiryat Gat, Israel.

Apparently successful applicants will be part of a team covering all aspects of field service in support of a "strategic customer" that we take to be the world's largest chipmaker, Intel Corp.

Intel has had operations in Israel since 1974 and currently has five development centers and two wafer fabs. Intel started building a 300-mm wafer fabrication facility at its site in Kiryat Gat late in 2005. The factory, designated Fab 28, is set to cost $3.5 billion and to produce processors in the second half of 2008 on 45-nanometer process technology.

As well as having a good education in electronics, mechanics or equivalent (?), applicants should have a "flexible approach to working hours and travel" according to an advert which could be found here when this story was first posted.
