Position: Senior Algorithm Engineer
Location: Milpitas, CA
Duration  : Full time

Job Description:
We are looking for a senior level Algorithm Engineer with a strong background in signal / image progressing who processes the ability and determination to apply this knowledge to solve difficult problems in the areas of defect detection and defect classification. Candidate will be joining the engineering team that creates the world's most advanced wafer inspection equipment.

The successful candidate will have a high level of ownership during the development of critical image processing subsystems, from the concept design phase through product design, release and sustaining. The candidate must be self-motivated and self-directed, with ability to set priorities and achieve quality results.

Activities will include working with cross functional teams to define subsystem specifications, analyze data, model solutions, design and implement chosen solution, and test implementation against subsystem specifications. Initial tasks would include morphing existing algorithms from other KLA-Tencor systems to provide value on the Surfscan system.  Future tasks would involve ground up algorithm design and the implementation of that design for the next generation system.

The ideal candidate will love a good technical challenge and will enjoy the opportunity to work with a variety of different technologies.
