E-Beam Systems Design 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.

The Broadband Plasma (BBP) division is the market-leading optical inspection system used by logic, foundry, and memory customers to detect critical defects at advanced nodes. These tools combine broadband plasma technology with unmatched sensitivity and speed to support high-volume manufacturing.

What You'll DoIn this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise.

We are seeking an E-Beam Systems Design Engineer to lead the development, integration, and qualification of advanced electron beam (e-beam) systems for semiconductor applications. This role requires deep technical expertise in system design, electronics, and multidisciplinary engineering, along with strong cross-functional leadership and system-level problem solving.

The successful candidate will drive requirements development, integration strategies, and product qualification activities while working closely with electrical, software, mechanical, physics, and product engineering teams. This position is ideal for a systems engineering professional with semiconductor equipment experience and a strong background in advanced instrumentation and e-beam technologies.

Key Responsibilities Lead the design, integration, validation and qualification of advanced e-beam and SEM systems and subsystems.

Define system requirements, interfaces, and verification strategies for new product development.

Lead system-level troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and resolution of complex technical issues.

Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to evaluate technical trade-offs and optimize system performance.

Support product introduction, manufacturing transfer, and technology deployment activities.

Required Qualifications Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.

Minimum 5 years of industry experience in semiconductor equipment, advanced instrumentation, or related high-technology product development.

Demonstrated experience as a Systems Engineering (SE) professional, leading multidisciplinary technical development efforts.

Strong foundation in electronics, hardware/software integration, and system-level engineering.

Experience with requirements development, system integration, verification, validation, and technical risk management.

Proven ability to independently lead cross-functional engineering activities and execute complex technical projects.

Excellent analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications Industry experience in semiconductor equipment, advanced instrumentation, or related high-technology products.

SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) or e-beam system design experience…
