Jobs at KLA

Lead and grow a software engineering team to design and deliver scalable, fault-tolerant distributed image-computing platforms. Drive architecture for hybrid CPU/GPU workloads, enable developer productivity, collaborate with product/hardware/algorithm teams, and manage full lifecycle from requirements through deployment and maintenance.

Lead end-to-end lifecycle, architecture, integrations, and operations for enterprise content and learning platforms. Manage a global team of platform administrators and content/IA leads, drive platform implementations, upgrades and SaaS transformations, partner with IT, Cybersecurity, and vendors, and apply AI/automation to improve content reuse, search, translation, and learning analytics.

Support and demonstrate KLA wafer inspection products to customers on-site and in-house; prove technical superiority versus competitors; collaborate with engineering, marketing and software teams; lead local application engineers and new use-case development; track critical projects and contribute to development and characterization of next-generation wafer inspection products.

Responsible for supporting wafer inspection products, demonstrating performance to customers, proving technical superiority, and leading application engineers in product development.

Design and improve electron-beam imaging products for semiconductor inspection: specify SW/algorithms/HW, run experiments, model and analyze data, integrate and characterize subsystems (optics, detectors, HV, vacuum, wafer handling), support customers onsite, and present technical results. Heavy travel required.

Work with customers to drive product adoption and optimize semiconductor fab processes using KLA inspection and review systems. Provide pre/post-sale support, train users, investigate technical problems, run characterization experiments, collect and publish data, and report new applications to marketing. Role requires strong teamwork, technical and interpersonal skills and frequent international travel.

Design and improve electron-beam imaging products and subsystems (electron optics, detectors, HV, vacuum, wafer handling). Specify SW/Algo/HW requirements, perform experiments, modeling, data analysis, characterize and integrate products, and provide high-travel on-site customer support and training.

Design and architect scalable cloud solutions across multiple platforms. Modernize applications, ensure security, and streamline infrastructure operations while optimizing for cost and performance.

Lead design and optimization of HPC software infrastructure for AI/ML workloads. Implement Linux system-level components, debug and profile CPU/GPU performance, manage data processing/storage for AI, participate in code reviews and testing, and drive innovation in HPC/AI infrastructure.

Lead algorithm design and development for wafer inspection products, delivering image processing, computer vision, and machine learning solutions. Define performance requirements, mentor engineers, support system integration, validate and deploy algorithms, and ensure software quality and reliability.

Lead software development for KLA Surfscan SPx semiconductor inspection products. Responsibilities include software architecture, detailed design, coding, unit testing, requirements analysis, technical estimation, risk mitigation, and improving development processes. The role requires expertise in C#, C++, COM, .NET, object-oriented development, enterprise applications, and relational database design. It also involves leading small technical teams, collaborating across business and technical groups, and occasional travel to customer sites.

Leads software development for semiconductor inspection systems by improving architecture, designing scalable software, writing robust code and unit tests, assessing technical risks and requirements, and troubleshooting performance issues. Requires strong C++ and Linux expertise, parallel and distributed computing knowledge, performance optimization, cloud-native technologies, containers, messaging frameworks, serialization, and RPC. Collaborates with technical managers, project teams, and customers, contributes to estimation and planning, and travels occasionally for customer assignments.

Administer and enhance KLA’s Seclore digital rights management environment to protect intellectual property and sensitive content. Responsibilities include configuring access policies, managing users and permissions, monitoring platform health, resolving incidents, producing operational and security reports, supporting integrations with Microsoft 365 and enterprise systems, maintaining audit readiness, documenting procedures, and training administrators and end users.

Design and implement ML, statistical, and deep learning models (classification, anomaly detection, segmentation, forecasting) and agentic AI/LLM systems for semiconductor manufacturing. Build production-quality C++ and Python software, integrate LLMs and RAG pipelines, evaluate model performance, collaborate across engineering and product teams, and support deployment and customer adoption.

Develop high-performance machine-control software for wafer inspection products. Design and implement .NET/C++ solutions, analyze performance and throughput, prototype new concepts, optimize hardware interactions, document systems, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Design, develop, and maintain software (primarily Java) integrating robotics, motion control, and data acquisition. Evaluate and select data infrastructure technologies, collaborate cross-functionally globally, handle customer escalations, participate in SDLC, and travel to KLA and customer sites as needed.

Design, develop, and improve OMD software for optical overlay metrology. Lead small teams, produce robust scalable code, participate in requirements and architecture, assess technical risks, follow SDLC, and support estimation and testing. Travel occasionally to customer sites.

Develop, design, and unit-test OMD product software; perform requirements analysis; assess technical impacts; follow CMM software processes; mitigate technical risks; improve development procedures; support scalable, robust designs and code; travel to customer sites as needed.

Develop and maintain software (primarily Java/C#/C++/Python/JavaScript) integrating robotics, motion control and data acquisition. Evaluate and implement data infrastructure, collaborate across global teams, handle customer escalations, follow SDLC, and travel to KLA/customer sites as needed.

Design, implement, and unit-test small software features using Java or C++. Perform requirements analysis, debug root causes, and collaborate using OOP, data structures, and algorithms. Leverage AI tools and learn new skills on the job; contribute to semiconductor inspection and imaging-related software.
