The role is focused on precision motion control within KLA's Global Products Group, specifically in the RAPID division, which specializes in reticle inspection solutions for the semiconductor industry. The team is responsible for developing and optimizing mechanisms used in the generation of EUV light. Candidates will work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to bring prototype systems online and ensure high lithography yields. This position offers the opportunity to engage in hands-on testing and analysis to drive improvements in complex systems.

• A Doctorate degree with no related work experience, a Master's degree with 3 years of related work experience, or a Bachelor's degree with 5 years of related work experience is required.
• Hands-on experience integrating, testing, and optimizing the performance of complex mechanisms is preferred.
• Experience working with semiconductor equipment in cleanroom environments is desired.
• Working knowledge of Matlab/Simulink tools for controller development and tuning is necessary.
• Demonstrated ability to develop Python scripts for data analysis is required.

• Perform controller tuning, performance characterization, and troubleshooting for precision mechanisms used in EUV light generation.
• Define test specifications and select, procure, and assemble hardware for mechanism bench testing.
• Run experiments and drive the development of data collection and processing tools.
• Characterize motion performance and mechanism interactions at the integrated light source level.
• Work with a cross-functional team to bring prototype systems online and participate in testing complex calibrations and algorithms.
• Follow initial systems through Alpha test, delivery, and Beta test at customer sites.
