Full Stack Software Engineering Manager @ Kla Tencor

Group/Division

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 cost - effectively. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), which is responsible for creating all of KLA s metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers.

The LS - SWIFT Division of KLA s Global Products Group 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, advanced packaging and other markets rely upon high - sample wafer inspection information generated by LS - SWIFT products.

LS (Laser Scanning) systems enable cost - effective patterned wafer defect detection for the industry s most sophisticated process technologies deployed in leading - edge foundry, logic, DRAM, and NAND fabs. SWIFT (Simultaneous Wafer Inspection at Fast Throughput) systems deliver all - wafer - surface (frontside, backside, and edge) macro inspection that is critical for automotive IC, MEMS, and advanced 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.
