Electrical Design Engineer

About the role

KLA's Services team, which includes Engineering, offers installation services and 24/7 technical support for its semiconductor equipment. As an Electrical Design Engineer you will design, develop and integrate electrical and electromechanical systems for advanced semiconductor equipment, working with cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact work that advances business priorities.

Key responsibilities

• Design, develop and integrate electrical and electromechanical systems, defining architectures, power distribution, control systems and interfaces.
• Review schematics, PCBA, power distribution, interconnect designs and system documentation.
• Analyze load budgets, power consumption, grounding, shielding, EMC/EMI and safety requirements.
• Specify and qualify components such as power supplies, PLCs, motion controllers, sensors, relays, breakers, safety devices, industrial PCs and PCBA assemblies.
• Support system integration, bring-up, debugging, troubleshooting, characterization and validation, and develop test plans and verification.
• Ensure compliance with SEMI S2, SEMI S8, SEMI S22, CE, UL, IEC, NFPA and other safety standards.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing on manufacturability, obsolescence and HVM scalability, and maintain BOMs, schematics, cable drawings and test documentation.
• Provide training and troubleshooting support to Manufacturing, NPI, Service and Field Engineering teams, and investigate complex issues with root-cause analysis.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or a related field.
• 5 to 7 years of industry experience in semiconductor equipment, automation, industrial systems or capital equipment development.
• Experience designing and reviewing schematics, wiring diagrams, control panels, power distribution and cable assemblies.
• Experience with system integration, prototype bring-up, validation testing, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.
• English communication skills and ability to work across global teams.
• Experience in semiconductor equipment, automation, robotics, wafer handling or capital equipment is highly preferred.

Required skills

• Industrial control systems: PLCs, HMIs, safety controllers, motion controllers, sensors, actuators and communication networks.
• Electrical safety: grounding, bonding, shielding, EMC/EMI mitigation and machine safety.
• Failure analysis, reliability testing, DFMEA/PFMEA, DFM and DFA.
• Tools such as DraftSight, Zuken or equivalent.
• Fieldbus protocols (EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, DeviceNet) and basic AI knowledge are advantages.
