Electron Beam Product Engineer

Electron Beam Product Engineer

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.

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. Central Engineering is KLA's largest engineering organization comprised of 9 Centers-of-Excellence (CoE) in various disciplines applied across all product groups in the company. These CoE include Handling & Automation, Precision Motion Control, Sensors & Image Acquisition, Platform Design, and Packaging Engineering, among others. Talent includes over 500 engineers across global centers in Israel, China, India, and the US. Each CoE contributes not just talent and deliverables per discipline toward product programs, but also subject matter expertise, best practices, roadmaps, specialized facilities, apparatus, models, and analytics. These differentiate KLA not only in WHAT we do, but also in HOW we do it.

We are looking for an Electron Beam Product Engineer to join our systems engineering team in Ann Arbor, Michigan! The engineer will be the engineering tool owner for electron beam tools (similar to scanning electron microscopes) and will coordinate tool operating and maintenance activities across multi-functional teams.

Responsibilities

Coordinate with the KLA global tool user community to ensure local tools are available for engineers worldwide during their work shifts.

Troubleshoot and maintain semiconductor metrology and review tools to maintain both tool performance and uptime at high levels.

Complete critical tool performance calibrations, specification validation, and periodic preventative maintenance.

Monitor local and remote tool performance and uptime and lead efforts to quickly solve problems.

In the event of challenging and complex tool problems, perform detailed investigation into the root cause of the tool failure through a structured problem-solving process.

During critical activities, on-call support may be needed during evening, weekend, and holidays.

Author clear and concise summaries of test results to share lessons learned with the technical community, and drive updates to service procedures on both development versions and released versions of tool products.

Collaborate with global KLA engineering community to find solutions to problems on candidate's tools and tools led by other product engineers.

Work in an ISO Class 5 clean room.

Domestic and/or international travel may be required for initial training over a two-month period.
