Original job description

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 LS-SWIFT division delivers high-throughput patterned wafer inspection systems that support advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Its mission is to provide industry-leading defect detection with optimal cost of ownership across a wide range of applications. LS systems enable precise, cost-effective inspection for cutting-edge process nodes, while SWIFT systems offer comprehensive macro inspection of all wafer surfaces - capabilities that are especially critical for advanced packaging, as well as logic, memory, and automotive applications.

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.

Own system level qualification for optics subsystem, via diagnostic scripts or calibrations
Provide system level analysis regarding optics key parameters and drive specifications
Lead escalation support for optics-related issues by performing root cause analysis of optical system failures and proposing solutions for standardization.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including systems, opto-mech, electrical and software
10-20% of international travel is expected

Preferred Qualifications

Ph.D. in Optics or Physics; or a Master's degree with 3+ years of relevant experience; or a Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience.
Deep understanding in geometric and Fourier optics and Proven experience in optical system design, simulation, and analysis (e.g., stray light analysis, wavefront error, polarization).
Proficiency with optical design software (e.g., Zemax, Code V).
Hands-on experience with optical alignment, metrology tools (e.g., interferometers, wavefront sensors, WLI)
Experience with programming languages such as MATLAB or Python for data analysis and automation is a plus.
Demonstrated problem-solving skills and a strong analytical mindset.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
