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 LS-SWIFT Division of KLA’s Global Products Group provides patterned wafer inspection systems for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. Its mission is to deliver market-leading cost of ownership in defect detection for a broad range of applications in the production of semiconductors. Customers from the foundry, logic, memory, automotive, MEMS, advanced packaging and other markets rely upon high-sample wafer inspection information generated by LS-SWIFT products. LS (Laser Scanning) systems enable cost-effective patterned wafer defect detection for the industry’s most sophisticated process technologies deployed in leading-edge foundry, logic, DRAM, and NAND fabs. SWIFT (Simultaneous Wafer Inspection at Fast Throughput) systems deliver all-wafer-surface (frontside, backside, and edge) macro inspection that is critical for automotive IC, MEMS, and advanced packaging processes as well as foundry/logic and memory fabs. LS-SWIFT operates from a global footprint that includes the US, Singapore, India and Germany, and serves a worldwide customer base across Asia, Europe and North America.
Job Description/Preferred Qualifications
Are you a computer vision engineer or researcher who thrives on solving challenging, real-world problems? Do you enjoy taking ideas from concept through to production at scale?
At KLA, you will work on cutting-edge AI-powered inspection systems that enable breakthroughs in semiconductor manufacturing—the backbone of modern technology.
Join a high-performing team of PhDs, machine vision experts, and algorithm engineers, where you will design and deploy next-generation computer vision and deep learning solutions in complex, high-impact environments. The successful candidate will grow their career within the LS-SWIFT algorithms group in California, working on some of the most advanced inspection systems in the industry.

Ability to design model architectures, customize loss functions, and optimize performance for real-world constraints
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work on ambiguous, open-ended challenges
Preferred (Nice to Have)
Experience with large-scale, high-resolution image data or industrial inspection systems
Familiarity with performance optimization, GPU acceleration, or real-time systems
Experience working in cross-functional product environments (from R&D to customer deployment)
What Makes This Role Unique
Work on mission-critical systems used by leading semiconductor companies worldwide
Solve unsolved, high-impact problems at the intersection of AI and physics
See your work move from research to production and customer impact
Collaborate with a highly skilled, supportive, and driven team
