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 RAPID division leads the industry in reticle inspection solutions, helping ensure high lithography yields and cost-effective semiconductor manufacturing. Its systems support both mask shops and fabs by detecting defects early in the process, enabling faster, more reliable production.
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.
Responsibility and Scope
This is a rare offering for a critical role as a lead system design engineer / project coordinator to work as a direct liaison to KLA headquarters system and program management located in Milpitas Ca in support of leading edge E-beam mask inspection products in RAPID division of KLA
The candidate is to act as a regional lead and cross-functional coordinator to drive daily activities in the region in direct collaboration with KLA headquarter team located in Milpitas, CA
The candidate must be effective at leading a team of engineers to achieve program goals
The candidate shall assess/evaluate risks, and drive projects forward with an eye for critical path
The candidate shall communicate cross-functionally with a diverse team including engineering, marketing, manufacturing, and service to drive execution
The candidate shall lead, encourage, empower, and influence team members to achieve excellence in engineering rigor, reliability, usability, and customer focus
The candidate shall articulate and present execution plans for internal leadership as well as external customers
The candidate shall resolve inconsistencies between subsystems, conduct trade-off studies, identify high-risk areas, and develop risk mitigation strategies.
The candidate shall Identify bottlenecks and remove obstacles for the team to focus on value-add activities
The candidate shall be able hold/host regular daily coordination meetings between functional groups to ensure interdependencies are well understood and documented and daily plans are documented and plans of action are in place for clear and smooth execution
The candidate shall support roadmap development by detailing upcoming requirement changes and resources required
The candidate shall drive product or feature introduction. This includes developing system alignment, diagnostics and calibration strategies, training of operations and field personnel, and solving technical issues that may impact product introduction and ramp.
The candidate shall drive team to resolve system issues at customer site. This will require consistent collaboration with engineers at in both Milpitas and Taiwan to solve issues escalated to engineering: establish root cause, develop plan of action (POA), guide local teams in execution of POA, and document issues and solutions to improve design and/or procedures so that they may be implemented in a standard manner.
The candidate shall coach design engineers at all levels, across functional groups, and across cultures.
