Electrical Engineering Manager; AC​/DC power distribution​/electrical interconnect​/cable routing

Company Overview

KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. We invent systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers, reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. Our teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and problem‑solvers work with world‑leading technology providers to accelerate the delivery of tomorrow’s electronic devices.

The Global Products Group (GPG) creates all of KLA’s metrology and inspection products. The RAPID division leads reticle inspection solutions for the semiconductor industry, providing inspection solutions to both mask shops and semiconductor fabs to ensure consistently high lithography yields.

The Electrical Engineering Manager leads a small, high‑impact team (up to 7 engineers across electrical and mechanical disciplines) responsible for the design and development of electrical and control systems for advanced reticle inspection platforms, including EUV Actinic systems.

This role owns system‑level electrical architecture, power distribution, interconnect design, and control system integration for highly complex semiconductor capital equipment. The position requires strong technical leadership, cross‑functional coordination, and disciplined execution across product development cycles.
