NPI Integration Engineer

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

KLA has manufacturing sites worldwide. The Global Operations (GOPS) team, comprised of Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing Engineering, Installation and Quality, builds our leading-edge technology. GOPS partners with KLA's global supply base and design engineering teams to develop new products, working continuously to build better, faster and more cost-efficient solutions.

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.

The Integration Engineer is involved in the prototype design phase and zero-series production, bringing together mechanical, motion, electronics and software sub-systems and leading system-level testing and validation, to allow performance to SPEC, stability and quality.

The Integration Engineer is a critical pivot in product performance validation and quality.

The job includes:

• Setting the infrastructure for enabling Integrating and validating multi-disciplinary systems (mechanical, motion & motion-control, scanner/optics, electronics and software) into a complete, working product.
• Leading system bring-up, integration and performance validation through the prototype, zero-series and NPI phases.
• Root-cause analysis and resolution of system-level integration and motion-control issues observed on the production floor and in the field.
• Building and implementing integration and validation test setups, jigs and test benches to improve integration Performance to SPEC.
• Working closely with R&D disciplines, suppliers and contract manufacturers, and representing integration in design reviews (PDR, CDR) and development gates.
• Using data-driven analysis and monitoring to detect, characterize and prevent recurring quality issues.
• Preparing integration and production files, flows and procedures, and supporting product transfer to high-volume manufacturing (HVM).

Minimum Qualifications

• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from an acknowledged institute.
• 2-3 years of experience in a similar integration position, preferably in an NPI environment with multi-disciplinary products.
• Hands-on experience integrating and validating complete electro-mechanical systems at system level.
• “Hands-on” orientation with strong system-level troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent interpersonal skills in a multi-interface matrix structure.
• Good understanding of BOM structure and procedure preparation.
• Experience with motion-control systems and 3D CAD (Creo/Pro-E & SolidWorks) – an advantage
• Great problem solver, team player and leadership ability.
