To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale-faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology.\nGroup/Division\nThe Semiconductor Products and Customers (Semi PC) business unit designs, builds and sells KLA’s product portfolio to help chip manufacturers meet high-quality standards to enable technologies like AI, data centers, automotive and electronic devices. Our inspection, metrology, and analytics systems detect and monitor defects across logic and memory chips, specialty semiconductors, wafers, reticles, advanced packaging, process equipment and materials. We also develop technologies for specialty processes, IC substrates, and PCB manufacturing, including etch and deposition, component inspection, and imaging and analytics.What You'll Do\nIn this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise.\nKick-start your career as an Algorithm Engineer by working on the “Vision Engine”, the brain of\nour inspection systems. By using groundbreaking technology and developing smart algorithms,\nfrom classic computer vision to modern machine learning, we can solve challenging real-world\ninspection problems. Through teamwork and growth opportunities you will become an expert\non our high performance vision systems and contribute directly to support our customers.\nAt KLA, early-career engineers grow by working side-by-side with experienced experts,\ncontributing to real products that shape the semiconductor industry. You will join collaborative,\nmultidisciplinary teams where knowledge sharing, mentorship, and technical excellence are\npart of everyday work. Through hands-on projects, guidance from senior engineers, and\nexposure to real customer challenges, you will continuously expand both your technical skills\nand system-level understanding. If you thrive in a team environment, enjoy learning every day,\nand want your work to truly matter, KLA offers the ideal place to build a strong and rewarding\nengineering career.\nYour work involves\n- Designing and developing soware for advanced inspection solutions, translating\ncustomer requirements into high-quality, maintainable soware used in state-of-the-art\nmanufacturing environments.\n- Collaborating with multiple software teams to validate and integrate new inspection\nflows, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and ready for deployment on KLA inspection\nmachines.\n- Working together with senior engineers to evaluate and introduce modern soware\ntools and development practices, continuously improving efficiency and the\ndevelopment environment on Linux and Windows.\n- Supporting field engineers and the Applications (APPS) team, contributing to the full\nprocess flow of the vision system and gaining a strong end-to-end understanding of our\nproducts.\n- Occasional travel to customers, helping you build real-world insight into customer use\ncases and the impact of your work in production environments.\nRequirements\n- A solid foundation in machine vision and software development, combined with curiosity and\nmotivation, enables you to grow into solving increasingly complex inspection challenges.\n- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Initial\nprofessional experience (or strong hands-on academic projects) is a plus, but above all\nwe value your passion for technology, drive to learn, and motivation to make a\ndifference.\n- Good understanding of object-oriented programming, with practical experience in\nC/C++ gained through coursework, projects, or early career roles. Exposure to Python\nand deep-learning concepts is a plus.\n- Experience working with Linux environments and open-source tools, at least at project\nor academic level, with the ambition to deepen this knowledge in a professional setting.\n- Strong interest in new technologies, including emerging hardware trends, modern\nsoftware frameworks, and computer-vision libraries, with the curiosity to experiment\nand learn.\n- Analytical mindset and strong communication skills, enabling effective collaboration\nwithin international, multidisciplinary teams.\n- Fluent in English, written and spoken.\nMinimum Qualifications\nMaster's Level Degree and 0 years related work experience; Bachelor's Level Degree and related work experience of 2 years\nAbout KLA\nWe provide advanced inspection tools, metrology systems, process solutions, and computational analytics that make electronics possible, tackling complex challenges. From electron and photon optics to machine learning and data analytics, we seek perfection at the most fundamental level of matter in the universe. If you want to make electronics that push industries forward and make the world a better place, join us.\nUse of AI Statement\nAt KLA, our interviews seek to understand your individual skills, problem-solving approach and authentic thinking.
