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, or VR device 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 skilled 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 flourish when solving sophisticated problems!

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 efficiently. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), responsible for crafting all of KLA's metrology and inspection products, is looking for the most creative research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers.

The LS-SWIFT Division of KLA's GPG 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, sophisticated packaging and other sectors rely upon high-sample wafer inspection information generated by LS-SWIFT products. SWIFT (Simultaneous Wafer Inspection at Fast Efficiency) systems deliver all-wafer-surface macro inspection that is critical for automotive IC, MEMS, and sophisticated 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.
