Physicist - Electro Optics Engineer

About the role

KLA's Gaia R&D group develops advanced electro-optical metrology systems for semiconductor inspection, covering optical development, laboratory experimentation, system integration, validation and troubleshooting from prototype to production tool. As a Physicist / Electro-Optical Engineer you will lead hands-on development of optical and metrology systems, working with mechanics, algorithms and system engineers on next-generation inspection and metrology products.

Key responsibilities

• Develop optical and electro-optical systems, including design, simulation, alignment, testing, integration and performance validation.
• Design, align and test laboratory setups.
• Integrate, validate and troubleshoot systems.
• Perform optical modeling, data analysis and performance evaluation.
• Work with mechanics, algorithms and system engineering teams.
• Develop semiconductor inspection and metrology solutions.

Required profile

• M.Sc. in Physics, Electro-Optics, Optical Engineering or a related exact science field.
• Hands-on experience with optical systems and laboratory work.
• Experience in semiconductor inspection or metrology systems is an advantage.
• Strong problem-solving, collaboration and communication skills.

Required skills

• Optical system development and optical modeling
• MATLAB and Python
• Optical simulation tools such as Zemax
