Job description:
KLA is seeking a motivated individual for an engineer position in world-class algorithm group within the reticle product division (RAPID).
  • This individual will utilize his/her skills in Fourier optics, mathematics, and software to develop algorithms to be integrated into KLA’s state of the art inspection platforms.
  • Responsibilities of this position include develop optical modeling of the inspection systems; improve formulation and calibration for better accuracy. This requires abstracting specific tasks into generic mathematic problem and finding customized algorithm solutions; balancing between rigor and practicality through comprehensive data analysis.
  • This person is expected to bring forward creative ideas, develop production code and provide support as needed. This candidate shall be able to work independently and with a project team; provide input to hardware group on image quality and error budget base on Algorithm design and performance; engage constructively with marketing on product requirements and provide training to application team.
  • Significant experience in C++ production software development and object-oriented programming is essential. Previous deployment of Convolution Neural Network for image applications is preferred.
  • The candidate is expected to possess good oral and written communications skills to interact with other development and applications engineers daily.
