Systems Engineer (Electronics Integration)

Company Overview KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Virtually every electronic device in the world is produced using our technologies. No laptop, smartphone, wearable device, voice-controlled gadget, flexible screen, VR device or smart car would have made it into your hands without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA focuses more than average on innovation and we invest 15% of sales back into R&D. Our expert teams of physicists, engineers, data scientists and problem-solvers work together with the world’s leading technology providers to accelerate the delivery of tomorrow’s electronic devices. Life here is exciting and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems. There is never a dull moment with us. Group/Division With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers around the globe rely on KLA to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), which is responsible for creating all of KLA’s metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers. The Broadband Plasma Division (BBP) provides market-leading patterned wafer optical inspection systems for leading-edge IC manufacturing. Logic, foundry, and memory customers depend on BBP products to detect yield-critical defects for process debug and excursion monitoring at advanced process nodes. BBP flagship products include the 29xx and 39xx series which leverage Broadband Plasma technology to capture a wide range of defects with ultimate sensitivity at the optical inspection speeds needed for inline defect monitoring. Job Description/Preferred Qualifications We are seeking a Systems Engineer to lead development, integration, and qualification of advanced e-beam systems. This role requires strong technical depth in systems level electronics development along with strong cross-functional leadership and system-level problem solving. The position is responsible for defining requirements, driving integration strategies, resolving complex technical issues, and ensuring successful delivery of new technologies from concept through qualification.

Lead integration of electronics, software, and hardware subsystems to ensure system performance, reliability, and manufacturability. Drive system architecture, requirements definition, and verification strategies for advanced e-beam systems and test platforms. Lead complex root cause investigations and system-level troubleshooting across hardware, software, and integration boundaries. Develop and execute system characterization, validation, and qualification plans for new and existing products. Provide technical leadership while partnering with electrical, software, optics, mechanical, and product engineering teams to resolve technical issues and tradeoffs.

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, or related technical field. Strong foundation in electronics, hardware/software integration, and system-level engineering. Demonstrated experience with requirements management, system integration, verification, and complex technical problem solving. Proven ability to independently lead cross-functional technical efforts and execute complex engineering projects.

Experience developing or supporting software for hardware control, diagnostics, automation, or data acquisition (e.g., Python, C/C++, MATLAB). Experience with
