The intern will join the Mechatronics team in KLA's RAPID Division, focusing on developing a model-based control framework for a precision motion stage. This role involves building a high-fidelity dynamic model from measured stage performance and designing a robust controller using modern control methods. The intern will deploy the controller to the stage hardware and measure its performance. This position offers an opportunity to work on advanced technologies in semiconductor manufacturing.
