Job description

The role involves working as a computer vision engineer or researcher at KLA, focusing on advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms for semiconductor manufacturing. You will be part of the LS-SWIFT algorithms group in California, collaborating with a team of experts to develop AI-powered inspection systems. The position emphasizes solving complex, real-world problems and advancing business priorities through high-impact work. You will take ownership of algorithm development from concept to production deployment.

Requirements

  • Strong background in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, or image processing.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major deep learning framework such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  • Proven experience training, validating, and deploying machine learning or deep learning models in production environments.
  • Solid programming skills in C++ and/or Python, with experience in object-oriented or functional programming.
  • Ability to design model architectures, customize loss functions, and optimize performance for real-world constraints.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize advanced machine learning and deep learning algorithms for complex image and signal processing applications.
  • Take ownership of algorithm development from concept and prototyping to production deployment.
  • Invent, evaluate, and implement novel computer vision approaches for challenging, real-world datasets.
  • Analyze system performance, debug complex issues, and improve robustness and accuracy in production environments.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality solutions.

Benefits

  • Employees at KLA are often offered competitive pay with bonuses, a 401(k) match, an employee stock purchase program, and financial perks like student-debt assistance, planning support, and group insurance discounts. Health and lifestyle benefits typically include medical/dental/vision, life and other voluntary coverages, paid time off and holidays, family leave, backup care, wellness rewards, gym discounts, and community-volunteering opportunities. Employees also get strong growth support through tuition reimbursement, KLA’s corporate learning center, education awards, and engineering certification programs.
