A small country that punches far above its weight in chip design. Global companies run some of their most important design centres here, and Israel has one of the world's densest chip-startup scenes.
Intel's Haifa centre designed several of its landmark CPUs, and Intel runs a fab in Kiryat Gat. NVIDIA's Israel teams, mostly from the Mellanox acquisition, build networking and data-centre chips. Apple, Qualcomm, Marvell, Broadcom and Amazon (Annapurna Labs) also design chips here.
Israel's startups are a big employer: Hailo (edge AI), NextSilicon (HPC), Valens (connectivity) and many more. Tower Semiconductor is the main local foundry.
Most engineers are Israeli graduates of the Technion, Tel Aviv University and similar schools. Foreign hiring happens mostly for experienced specialists.

A strong engineering education system, decades of Intel investment and an active venture-capital scene. Many global companies grew their Israeli teams through acquisitions such as Mellanox and Annapurna Labs.
It happens, mostly for experienced specialists hired by global companies. Fresher hiring is almost entirely from Israeli universities.
Their interviews test the same core topics. Practise with free question banks, then get a mentor-led mock interview before the real one.
