Sr. Global Instrumentation & Controls 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 KLA's Global Workplace Services (GWS) team is passionate about advancing our business goals and company culture by building workplace environments that foster teamwork, innovation and productivity. GWS is responsible for site improvements to support business needs, promoting a secure work environment, regulation compliance, safety protocol implementation, emergency preparedness and risk mitigation.

What You'll Do In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. KLA's Global Engineering & Operational Standards (GEOS) team is seeking a Senior Global Instrumentation & Controls Engineer to own and advance KLA's instrumentation, controls, and Building Management System (BMS) strategy across its global portfolio of facilities and Super Sites.

This is a highly autonomous, senior-level role for a self-directed engineer with deep technical expertise in BMS/SCADA architecture, controls integration, and facility automation, operating independently with minimal oversight across a complex, matrixed global organization. The successful candidate will serve as KLA's global subject matter expert (SME) for instrumentation and controls within the built environment. This role will be setting standards, driving consistency, and leading technical strategy from concept through execution.

This role requires the ability to take full ownership of global BMS strategy, implementation, and standardization without day-to-day direction, and to influence stakeholders across regions, functions, and seniority levels.
