KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. 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 been made without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers, 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 hard problems.

There is never a dull moment with us.

With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chip makers 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) is responsible for creating all of KLA's metrology and inspection products. Central Engineering is KLA's largest engineering organization comprised of 9 Centers‑of‑Excellence (CoE) in various disciplines applied across all product groups.

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 specialized expertise, best practices, roadmaps, analytics and facilities to differentiate KLA in WHAT we do and HOW we do it.

• Design mechanical and optomechanical parts and subsystems for advanced image sensor calibration systems.
• Drive and be responsible for the complete design process, including requirements, concept, design, testing, BOM structure and scheduling.
• Perform calculations and computer simulations to verify functionality of parts and mechanisms.
• Work cross‑functionally and drive implementation of design best practices into product design that meets specifications, SEMI standards, manufacturability and cost targets.
• Conduct analyses such as thermal, vibration and FEA modeling; conceptual and detailed design using Creo/Parametric (Pro/E); detailed drawings; design review presentations; procurement of prototype parts; system integration, prototype testing and handoff to manufacturing.
