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

Job Description: 
We are looking for a senior level Algorithm Engineer with an excellent background in Math, specifically in statistics and signal / image progressing, who also processes the ability and determination to apply this knowledge to solve difficult system level problems.  This also requires a good understanding of physics.  The algorithms are focused in the areas of defect detection and classification. The Algorithm Engineer will be joining the engineering team that creates the world's most advanced wafer inspection equipment.
The successful Engineer will have the ability to excel in an algorithm technical lead position, demonstrating ownership and providing to the team, a high level of technical guidance during the development of critical image processing subsystems, from the concept design phase through product design, release and sustaining. The Engineer must be self-motivated and self-directed, with ability to set priorities and achieve quality results both personally and from the team.
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 and looking at ground up algorithm design and the implementation of that design for the next generation system.

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