Virtually every electronic device in the world is produced using our technologies. No laptop, smartphone, wearable device, voice-controlled gadget, flexible screen, VR device or smart car would have made it into your hands without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA focuses more than average on innovation and we invest 15% of sales back into R&D. Our expert teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and problem-solvers work together with the world’s leading technology providers to accelerate the delivery of tomorrow’s electronic devices. Life here is exciting and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems. There is never a dull moment with us.Group/Division\nWith 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. First to deliver the best imaging and classification data for every defect or point on any layer at any time. EBeam’s mission encapsulates its role as the “eyes” of KLA’s product line, providing timely information on defects and critical locations on the wafer at the highest spatial resolution possible. Customers use EBeam products alongside KLA patterned and bare wafer inspectors to quickly understand the nature of defects and other imperfections on product wafers and take action to correct the manufacturing process.Job Description/PreferredQualifications\nMust have Qualifications:\nDeep proficiency in core programming concepts, with hands-on expertise in Java, Python, or C++\nStrong background in object-oriented design (OOD) and multi-threaded application development\nDemonstrated experience in full-stack web development, specializing in microservices architecture, performance optimization, and security best practices\nSolid understanding of data structures and algorithms\nPractical experience with Kubernetes and designing scalable microservices\nExcellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with strong communication abilities (both verbal and written)\nAbility to bridge theoretical concepts and real-world implementations\nExperience managing the full product development lifecycle, from concept to deployment\nExperience designing and deploying ML/DL pipelines for training, inference, validation, and monitoring is a plus\nTechnical leadership or mentoring experience is a plus\nExposure to computer vision, signal processing, or time-series analysis, particularly for high-volume or high-resolution data is a plus\nResponsibilities:\nDesign, develop, and maintain ML/DL-based software solutions & big-data analysis for large, complex semiconductor systems\nApply machine learning and deep learning techniques to semiconductor metrology, inspection, yield analysis, defect classification, and process optimization\nCollaborate with globally distributed teams, including hardware, optics, algorithms, and systems engineers, to deliver high-impact AI solutions\nAnalyze and resolve complex system-level issues spanning software, ML models, data quality, and hardware interactions\nDrive model performance tuning, robustness, and explainability to meet manufacturing and customer requirements\nIdentify root causes of product or process variability and propose innovative ML-driven solutions\nSupport technology transfer from research and prototyping to high-volume manufacturing environments\nTravel to other company sites and customer locations as required to support deployment, debugging, and adoption\nParticipate in end-to-end product development lifecycle activities, from design through deployment and support\nMinimum Qualifications\nDoctorate (Academic) Degree and related work experience of 3 years; Master's Level Degree and related work experience of 6 years; Bachelor's Level Degree and related work experience of 8 years\nWe offer a competitive, family friendly total rewards package.
