Overview
KLA is seeking a talented and motivated senior engineer to fill new position within the Pro engineering group.
Our designs employ a combination of low noise analog and highly complex digital signal circuits, which are enabling our leading technology in the advancing semiconductor industry.
Responsibilities
The candidate will be responsible for FPGA design for new systems as well as sustaining support for manufacturing and customer escalations.
Designing, implementing, and debugging of FPGAs for sensing and communications systems (cameras, sensors, motors etc.)
Collaborate with cross functional team members to design FPGA Firmware for high-performance mixed-signal systems and solve complex technical challenges.
Develop complex, high-speed, innovative FPGA-based designs including design, verification, simulations, synthesis, place and route, and timing closure.
Responsible for RTL design and verification, as well as hardware bring-up and debug FPGA for motion control, sensing and imaging systems.
Optimize FPGA designs for the area, speed, and power to meet system requirements; analyze architectural trade-offs and validate for system sample rate and latency.
Participate in all phases of FPGA design flow, define FPGA design requirement specifications and develop design projects from concept design to wafer inspection tool production release.
Understand and capture the project specifications and performance requirements on board and system level.
Adhere to project timelines and deliverables.
Write technical documentation that meets the defined quality standards as required.
These tasks will require working with other engineering groups such as mechanical, optical, software, systems and manufacturing engineers to ensure flawless integration and test at the subsystem and system level.
Requirements
