Company Overview
KLA is a global leader in diversified electronics for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem. Virtually every electronic device in the world is produced using our technologies. No laptop, smartphone, wearable device, voice-controlled gadget, flexible screen, VR device or smart car would have made it into your hands without us. KLA invents systems and solutions for the manufacturing of wafers and reticles, integrated circuits, packaging, printed circuit boards and flat panel displays. The innovative ideas and devices that are advancing humanity all begin with inspiration, research and development. KLA focuses more than average on innovation and we invest 15% of sales back into R&D. 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. Life here is exciting and our teams thrive on tackling really hard problems. There is never a dull moment with us.
Job Description/Preferred Qualifications
Senior Algorithm Engineers are core to KLA's technology, while we do not currently have an opening, we are always building our Algorithm Engineering talent community, we are interested in learning about your background.
Apply to this posting for Future Opportunities with KLA.
Are you a seasoned algorithm expert ready to take on complex, high-impact challenges in the semiconductor industry? We're looking for a Senior Algorithm Engineer to drive innovation in image processing, computer vision, and defect detection for state-of-the-art inspection systems.
In this role, you'll go beyond implementation-you'll architect, optimize, and lead the development of advanced algorithms that push the boundaries of what's possible in high-resolution imaging and real-time analysis. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to define technical direction, validate performance, and ensure seamless integration into production systems.
What You'll Do:
Design and optimize cutting-edge algorithms for image processing, inverse problems, and computer vision
Prototype in Python or MATLAB, and implement high-performance solutions in C++ on Linux
Accelerate algorithm performance using CUDA/GPU programming
Collaborate with systems, software, and hardware teams to translate complex requirements into scalable solutions
Lead technical discussions, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to long-term algorithm strategy
What You Bring:
5+ years of hands-on experience in image processing, computer vision, or machine learning in a production environment
Deep expertise in spectral/spatial filtering, model-based methods, and inverse problem solving
Strong proficiency in C++, with experience developing on Linux platforms
Proven ability to prototype and validate algorithms in Python or MATLAB
Familiarity with CUDA, TensorFlow, or other GPU-accelerated frameworks is a strong plus
Experience architecting algorithms from the ground up and solving real-world vision challenges at scale
Why Join Us?
Work on mission-critical technology that powers the semiconductor industry
Be part of a high-caliber team where your expertise drives innovation
Enjoy a hybrid work model with 3 days in the office and flexibility built in
Grow your impact through technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and continuous learning
Minimum Qualifications
Doctorate (Academic) Degree and related work experience of 3 years; Master's Level Degree and related work experience of 6 years; Bachelor's Level Degree and related work experience of 8 years
Base Pay Range: $123,000.00 - $209,100.00
Primary Location: USA-MI-Ann Arbor-KLA
