Milpitas, California, United States KLA Full time

As a Senior Optical Physicist at KLA, you will be responsible for acquiring expertise in the physics of signal and noise in optical inspection of highly sophisticated circuitry, and large-scale simulation and data analysis.

You will work with the latest electronic devices, with 2 nm and smaller design rules and three-dimensional structures, present a particularly ambitious goal for high-speed inspection of patterned wafers.

In this role, you will use your knowledge of electromagnetic scattering theory, Fourier optics and optical imaging to define and complete experiments and analysis of intricate defects, perform electromagnetic simulations and modeling to provide first principles-based analyses of optical detection sensitivity of nanometer scale defects in CMOS circuitry, and rigorously assess new concepts (algorithms and hardware) to meet inspection challenges through simulation and experiment.

We estimate the salary range for this position to be between $150,000 and $250,000 annually, based on location and experience.
