KLA Senior Research Scientist Electromagnetics Fourier Optics Imaging Systems 

United States, California, Milpitas 

353647823

Technology development in this area requires expertise in both optical imaging and signal detection techniques. In this role, you will also acquire deep knowledge of the semiconductor device fabrication process and exploit that knowledge to help create the next-generation optical inspection platforms. We welcome candidates with either experimental or theoretical background. A strong aptitude for modeling and simulation in any sub-field of optics will be preferred.

Education Requirements:

PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering with specialization in electromagnetism and/or optics.

Minimum Technical Skills:

• Image processing, signal processing and knowledge of linear systems.

• Fourier optics of coherent and incoherent imaging systems and wavefront aberrations.

• Strong understanding of noise in optical imaging and detection systems.

• Electromagnetic simulations of highly dispersive materials complex structures.

• Design and analysis of experiments for proving concepts.

• Effectively communicate results to audiences of diverse technical backgrounds.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Performing experiments with optical microscopes.

• Electromagnetic scattering theory and perturbation methods evident through peer-reviewed publications as a primary author.

• Ability to build HPC simulators of large scale complex physical systems.

Minimum Qualifications

PhD Degree + 3 years, or Master Degree + 6 years, or Bachelor Degree + 8 years
