About The Position

Are you an Electrical Engineer who is motivated by solving complex, cross-disciplinary challenges? Join KLA’s multifaceted and hands-on engineering team, where innovation meets execution. We’re looking for a highly skilled engineer to help design and develop the next generation of integrated power systems and modules for our groundbreaking tools. In this role, you’ll collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to design, detail, and test new electrical subsystems. What We Need You to Do Be an integral part of team developing of electrical parts, modules, and subsystems for integrated measurement systems. Participate in the full design lifecycle—from requirement specification and feasibility studies to component selection, cost analysis and scheduling. Conduct detailed analysis including circuit, timing, thermal/cooling, and electrical load balancing calculations for 120–480VAC single-phase, 3-phase, and low-voltage DC power distribution systems that are in compliance with applicable standards (NEC, NFPA 79, IPC, SEMI, IEC). Create conceptual and detailed designs using tools like AutoCAD and CREO, including drawings, BOMs, test procedures, and fixtures. Participate in design reviews and collaborate across subject areas (mechanical, software, systems, manufacturing). Procure prototype parts, conduct testing, and support system integration and manufacturing handoff. Have strong problem-solving and diagnostic skills to work with other engineering groups such as mechanical software, systems, and manufacturing engineers to ensure seamless integration and test at the subsystem and system level. Work closely with suppliers to ensure design requirements are met and resolve issues throughout the product lifecycle. Have experience with and be eager to learn more about PLCs (e.g., Siemens, Allen Bradley) and integrate control and safety-interlock systems.

Requirements

• Minimum of two years' experience in electrical system integration
• Background in AC power delivery, electro-mechanical systems, and communication systems
• Experience with system-level integration and validation
• Skills in lab testing, solving issues, and performance characterization
• Collaborative mentality for multi-functional teamwork
• You must have flexibility for domestic and international travel based on business needs (up to 25%).

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency in wiring/schematic diagrams and drafting practices
• Familiarity with Fieldbus protocols (Ethernet, EtherCAT, Modbus, DeviceNet)
• Familiarity with Programmable Logic Controller software, such as Siemens TIA Portal, Allen Bradley Logix, or equivalents
• Excellent verbal and written communication
• Ownership mentality and leadership capability
• Semiconductor industry experience is a plus
