Image Sensor Test and Development Engineer

To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... 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.

Group/Division The Semiconductor Products and Customers (Semi PC) business unit designs, builds and sells KLA’s product portfolio to help chip manufacturers meet high-quality standards for 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.

KLA's Central Engineering organization is made up of nine Centers of Excellence (CoEs) spanning disciplines like automation, motion control, sensors, platform design, and packaging. Each CoE contributes not only technical deliverables but also deep expertise, best practices, and advanced tools that elevate both what we build—and how we build it.

The KLA Sensors team is looking for a dedicated electrical design engineer to join our group and contribute in the area of camera development focused on Sensor Test.

The ideal candidate would be a highly motivated individual contributor that has the vision and initiative to provide technical leadership on the assigned project.

The main job functions would include:

• Test and characterization of sophisticated image sensors and cameras
• Generating sensor test requirements
• Developing engineering tests in Matlab/Python/LabVIEW/Excel
• Integration and modification of sensor test fixtures
• Collaborating with manufacturing partners
• Verifying sensor performance and reliability, and integrating the camera sub-system

• The successful candidate will ideally have a demonstrated record of innovation and implementation of leading-generation CMOS or CCD-based sensors, from design through production and release phases.
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Sensor test experience, preferably with high bandwidth low noise CMOS or CCD
• Experience and knowledge of innovative CMOS/CCD sensor manufacturing, packaging, and testing processes
• Project and vendor management skills
• Camera system integration experience

• Doctorate (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

We 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.
