At KLA-Tencor, we're making technology advancements that are biggerand tinierthan the world has ever seen. Who are we? We research, develop, and manufacture the world's most advanced inspection and measurement equipment for the semiconductor and nanoelectronics industries. We enable the digital age by pushing the boundaries of technology, creating tools capable of finding defects smaller than a wavelength of visible light. We create smarter processes so that technology leaders can manufacture high-performance chipsthe kind in that phone in your pocket, the tablet on your desk and nearly every electronic device you ownfaster and better. We're passionate about creating solutions that drive progress and help people do what wouldn't be possible without us. The future is calling. Will you answer? Group/Division With over 40 years of semiconductor process control experience, chipmakers around the globe rely on KLA-Tencor to ensure that their fabs ramp next-generation devices to volume production quickly and cost-effectively. Enabling the movement towards advanced chip design, KLA-Tencor's Global Products Group (GPG), which is responsible for creating all of KLA-Tencors metrology and inspection products, is looking for the best and the brightest research scientist, software engineers, application development engineers, and senior product technology process engineers. First to deliver the best imaging and classification data for every defect or point on any layer at any time. EBeams mission encapsulates its role as the eyes of KLA-Tencors product line, providing timely information on defects and critical locations on the wafer at the highest spatial resolution possible. Customers use EBeam products alongside KLA-Tencor patterned and bare wafer inspectors to quickly understand the nature of defects and other imperfections on product wafers and take action to correct the manufacturing process. Responsibilities The HPC Systems design engineer reports to the manager of the High Performance Computing (HPC) Systems team. This engineer is responsible for HPC HW subsystem development for wafer inspectors on-tool and off-tool computing solutions. The HPC design engineer is responsible to follow a proven effective development process: Collect computational requirements from Wafer inspection applications and review with stakeholders. Leveraging latest HPC technology including cloud computing and big data technologies, create an optimal HPC HW subsystem design. Verify that the design meets the requirements via standalone prototype and integrated wafer inspector system testing. Document the HW subsystem construction procedure to enable the design handoff to manufacturing and field service. Provide hands-on training for manufacturing and field service teams. This position is a unique combination of computing HW hands-on and computing infrastructure SW engineering that is challenged to deliver cost effective and reliable HPC solutions to advance KTs wafer inspection capabilities. The successful applicant will work with a group of talented engineers and be mentored by senior engineers to gain cutting edge HPC technology and to enhance industrial skills and experience. The computing HW hand-on activities includes computing component installations, server bring-up/qualification, and troubleshooting. The computing infrastructure SW engineering includes Linux OS component selection and package, diagnostic test development, Virtual Machine golden image or Container creation, server cluster management, as well as the corresponding documentation. Preferred Qualifications In-depth Knowledge in computer architecture and broad knowledge in CPU, GPU, network, storage technology. Hands-on experience with computing hardware. Experience in Linux cluster management is a plus. Knowledge in Linux and its administration with scripting capability to automate repetitive tasks. Linux kernel experience is a plus. Skills in Linux OS component selection and package, VM and Container creations. Knowledge or experience in cloud computing technology, such as OpenStack, CEPH, is a plus Excellent problem analysis and solving skills.
