AI/ML Engineer
As an AI/ML Engineer at KLA's Advanced Computing Labs in Chennai, you will develop and optimize advanced Image Processing and Machine Vision algorithms for semiconductor inspection and metrology products, leveraging Deep Learning for defect detection. This role involves modeling algorithm performance, ensuring robustness, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to push the boundaries of AI and HPC technologies.
KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. We invent systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards, and flat panel displays. KLA focuses more than average on innovation, investing 15% of sales back into R&D in 2019. Our expert 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.
With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers worldwide rely on KLA to ensure their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. KLA's Global Products Group (GPG), responsible for creating all of KLA’s metrology and inspection products, is looking for research scientists, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers. Central Engineering is KLA's largest engineering organization, comprising 9 Centers-of-Excellence (CoE) in various disciplines applied across all product groups. These CoE include Handling & Automation, Precision Motion Control, Sensors & Image Acquisition, Platform Design, and Packaging Engineering, among others. Talent includes over 500 engineers across global centers in Israel, China, India, and the US.
KLA Advanced Computing Labs’ (ACL) mission in India is to deliver advanced parallel computing research and software architectures for AI + HPC + Cloud solutions to accelerate the performance of KLA's products. ACL explores high-risk approaches, pioneering technologies, and novel methods to accelerate KLA’s algorithms and contribute to KLA’s HPC technology roadmap. Located out of the IIT Madras Research Park in Chennai, India, we engage leading thinkers in academia, industry, and KLA’s business units to create innovative parallel computing methods to enable KLA’s business growth.
KLA is hiring engineers for its Advanced Computing Labs in Chennai, India, located at our new research center in the IITM Research Park. The goal of the center is to conduct computational research and development in parallel and distributed sub-systems and deploy them to KLA’s advanced semiconductor platforms used for inspection and metrology tasks in leading fabs. These efforts are part of a larger global initiative at KLA to scale up its AI + HPC + cloud infrastructure.
