Rack Level Integration Engineer for our client in the semiconductor / high‑tech industry.

emergiTEL Inc. · Santa Clara, British Columbia · $130,000 - $196,300 annually

applies via emergitel.catsone.com

Verdict

emergiTEL is a legitimate, established Canadian staffing firm with a reachable website and active careers portal, which supports legitimacy. However, the posting contains a critical geographic error: "Santa Clara, British Columbia" does not exist in Canada (Santa Clara is in California, USA), and the company is headquartered in Ontario, not BC. This location mismatch is a significant red flag suggesting either careless posting practices or potential deception about the actual job location. The salary range is reasonable for the role, and the application method is standard (online portal). The mismatch between claimed location and company headquarters, combined with a non-existent city name, elevates fraud risk to the medium band despite the employer's legitimacy.
