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. KLA Instruments is our instrumentation division, which designs advanced metrology and inspection instruments used in both R&D and production across industries and academia. Our tools-ranging from optical profilers and nano-indenters to thin film and defect inspection systems-enable precise surface and material analysis. We partner closely with customers to enable R&D, improve yield, optimize processes, and reduce production costs through innovative hardware, software and application expertise., KLA Instruments is passionate about development of state-of-the-art inspection and metrology equipment used in production and research and development environments. Our organization is globally located with resources in the US, Europe, and Asia. We provide critical cost-effective solutions for power electronics, LED, communications, automotive, data storage, and other related nanoelectronics and materials science applications. We partner with our customers to provide state-of-the-art hardware and software to improve yield and lower overall production costs by supplying world-leading inspection, metrology and review systems. In addition to developing valuable product solutions, the group provides support to customers to achieve performance entitlement through sharing and implementation of application BKMs (Best Known Methods)., As a Software Engineer on this team, you will design, develop, release, and support software for our families of surface profiler, thin film, sheet resistance and nanoindentation measurement instruments, leveraging cutting-edge technologies and the latest advancements in software engineering and AI/ML/DL. This role combines software development with hands-on DevOps: you will help own the CI/CD pipelines, build and release automation, and development infrastructure that deliver our software to customers., * Deliver well-defined features/components with high-level guidance: estimate work, communicate risks/tradeoffs, and deliver on schedule * Collaborate cross-functionally across the development lifecycle to define architecture and create system- and subsystem-level requirements/specifications * Implement and debug multithreaded code and support integration across system/subsystem boundaries (including hardware/software interfaces) * Develop C#/.NET and C++ software for GUI and data analysis; write maintainable code and use AI-assisted tools responsibly under company security policies * Build robust unit/integration tests, automate them in CI/CD pipelines, and use profiling to improve performance, memory usage, reliability, and security * Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from stakeholders and subject matter experts * Troubleshoot system/subsystem issues using logs and experiments; contribute to root-cause analysis, implement fixes with guidance, and help prevent recurrence * Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated build/test/release workflows, and development infrastructure so software is delivered reliably and repeatably * Demonstrate motivation to independently learn and apply new software technologies Occasional domestic and international travel, including to the United States, may be required as part of this role
