Software Engineering Intern – AI/ML for Diagnostics & Calibration

KLA is hiring a Software Engineering Intern to develop software and AI/ML prototypes for diagnostics and calibration. The role involves preparing and analyzing image and signal data, evaluating prototype performance, identifying contributors to degradation, and documenting reproducible technical work.

Responsibilities:

• Develop Python-based software and AI/ML prototypes that combine analytical models with image-based diagnostics
• Prepare representative image and signal datasets and assess selected metrics: resolution, noise, spectral content, sampling and aliasing, uniformity and contrast, and optical or system aberrations
• Evaluate prototypes quantitatively against analytical baselines and expert assessments; document accuracy, uncertainty, and failure cases
• Identify performance-limiting parameters and likely contributors to degradation, and recommend calibration actions for human review
• Build reproducible code, tests, and technical documentation; collaborate with engineers using approved data and AI tools while protecting proprietary information
• Explore AI-assisted troubleshooting, engineering analysis, or workflow automation with your mentor to support the core diagnostics work
