MACH Applications Development Engineer
KLA
Makes chip inspection and measurement equipment
To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale—faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology.
Group/Division
The Semiconductor Products and Customers (Semi PC) business unit designs, builds and sells KLA’s product portfolio to help chip manufacturers meet high-quality standards for technologies like AI, data centers, automotive and electronic devices. Our inspection, metrology, and analytics systems detect and monitor defects across logic and memory chips, specialty semiconductors, wafers, reticles, advanced packaging, process equipment and materials. We also develop technologies for specialty processes, IC substrates, and PCB manufacturing, including etch and deposition, component inspection, and imaging and analytics. The Measurement, Analytics and Control (MACH) division is KLA’s software powerhouse, responsible for developing high-performance software platforms that support semiconductor manufacturing. MACH delivers cutting-edge technologies in patterning analytics, modeling, and data science—empowering chipmakers to ramp next-gen devices faster and more efficiently. Our cross-functional team of research scientists, software engineers, apps engineers and process engineers are solving the industry’s most complex technical problems.What You'll Do
In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise.
Lead projects related to new product introduction, including definition, characterization, alpha testing, and beta testing.
Provide pre- and post-sales application support, which includes collaborating with customers to define problem statements and resolve technical issues.
Developing Best Known Method (BKM) documents, training materials, and knowledge sharing
Work closely with customer teams on-site to conduct investigations, gather and analyze data, and identify root causes of process patterning errors.
Design and implement process tool control solutions to minimize patterning errors and improve yield.
Partner with customers to publish technical papers in industry symposiums and journals.
Hands-on work with KLA metrology systems and software will be required.

We offer a competitive, family friendly total rewards package. We design our programs to reflect our commitment to an inclusive environment, while ensuring we provide benefits that meet the diverse needs of our employees.
KLA is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
KLA makes equipment and software that help semiconductor and electronics manufacturers find defects, measure tiny features and improve production yields. Its process control systems inspect wafers and analyze manufacturing data so engineers can identify problems before they spread through a production run. The product portfolio supports chip fabrication, packaging and printed circuit boards, with tools that check materials and finished components throughout manufacturing. KLA earns revenue from equipment sales and related service contracts, including maintenance that keeps customers' installed tools operating reliably. Formed through a merger in 1997, KLA is headquartered in Milpitas, California.
