COMPANY OVERVIEW Calling the adventurers ready to join a company that's pushing the limits of nanotechnology to keep the digital revolution rolling. At KLA, we're making technology advancements that are bigger and tinier than the world has ever seen.
Who are we* We research, develop, and manufacture the world's most advanced inspection and measurement equipment for the semiconductor and nanoelectronics industries. We enable the digital age by pushing the boundaries of technology, creating tools capable of finding defects smaller than a wavelength of visible light. We create smarter processes so that technology leaders can manufacture high-performance chips the kind in that phone in your pocket, the tablet on your desk and nearly every electronic device you own faster and better. We're passionate about creating solutions that drive progress and help people do what wouldn't be possible without us. The future is calling. Will you answer* GROUP/DIVISION With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers around the globe rely on KLA to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), which is responsible for creating all of KLA s metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers. Central Engineering is KLA's largest engineering organization comprised of 9 Centers-of-Excellence (CoE) in various disciplines applied across all product groups in the company. These CoE include Handling & Automation, Precision Motion Control, Sensors & Image Acquisition, Platform Design, and Packaging Engineering, among others. Talent includes over 500 engineers across global centers in Israel, China, India, and the US. Each CoE contributes not just talent and deliverables per discipline toward product programs, but also subject matter expertise, best practices, roadmaps, specialized facilities, apparatus, models, and analytics. These differentiate KLA not only in WHAT we do, but also in HOW we do it. RESPONSIBILITIES In this role successful candidates will be responsible for: * Develop requirement specifications from performance requirements using systems engineering methodology. * Lead multi-disciplinary teams to develop and implement components and sub-modules for vacuum systems for next generation products. * Apply systems engineering principles to optimize system level instrument performance. * Lead the development and testing of systems design, prototype acceptance and spec validation. * Setup and qualify prototype high-vacuum systems. * Qualify contamination level of subsystems. * Write technical reports to communicate issues, analysis, technical assessments, system status, best-known-methods, and engineering recommendations. * Be able to quickly get up to speed to design and execute multi-disciplinary experiments, write and peer review detailed test plans and summary reports for system testing. * Coordinate and perform root cause analysis to solve problems. * Interface closely with service, manufacturing, engineering and marketing team to define and optimize system performance. * Coordinate with outside vendors to perform and deliver sub-system products. * Hands-on troubleshooting and maintenance of engineering prototype systems. QUALIFICATIONS * Must have a degree in Engineering, Physics, Material Science or related fields. * Must have experience with high vacuum systems, contamination control and material selection for high vacuum systems. * Have a working knowledge of precision instruments, vacuum systems and control systems. * Proficient with data analysis tools such as JMP, Matlab, Microsoft Excel. * Programming skills in Matlab and scripting languages, such as Python desired. * Have excellent oral and written communication, organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills. * Previous experience with instruments for semiconductor industry is desired. * The candidate should be self-driven and a strong team player. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Doctorate (academic) or master's level degree with at least 2 years of experience or bachelor's level degree with at least 3 years of experience. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY KLA is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
