• Developing PCBA-based product features on KLA products (analog, communications, digital signal processing, etc.) and support sophisticated projects to meet technology, performance, and schedule objectives.

• Solve challenging engineering problems by characterizing components,designing/prototypinganalog front-end circuits, generating schematics, directing PCB layout, and debugging PCBAs in the labs.

• Define test criteria and implement those test plans on functional prototypes in the lab to prove the reliability/safety of the designed subsystem.

• Propose and develop PCBA and subsystem qualification fixtures; modify and integrate the existing electrical and subsystem designs to achieve the desired functionality.

• Understand and gather project specifications and performance requirements on the system level.

• Collaborate with other groups to develop the PCBA solution and ensure a perfect integration test at the subsystem and/or system level.

• Provide mentorship and support to junior electrical design engineers.

• Must have the flexibility for domestic and international travel based on business needs.

• Ability to work onsite at least three days per week

The successful candidate will have a strong background in technical project management, be an excellent communicator, and a standout colleague with the following skills:
