Mechatronics Engineering Summer Internship

About the role

KLA's Metrology division is looking for a motivated summer intern to work on advanced mechatronics systems. The internship focuses on learning to work in a corporate environment and gaining hands-on experience solving real problems, such as developing custom control systems on high-precision wafer stages. Goals are matched to the intern's education and experience.

Key responsibilities

• Work with design engineers to design advanced metrology systems.
• Collect data, analyze it and manage projects independently.
• Perform hands-on work with hardware and gather data in the lab or cleanroom.
• Present technical analysis verbally and in writing, and give presentations to the team.
• Work within specified timelines and milestones.
• Ramp up quickly from existing documentation and on-the-job training, identify gaps and propose solutions.
• Modify tuning algorithms, design and update machine learning algorithms, and use first principles in design when needed.

Required profile

• Currently enrolled in a Ph.D. or Master's degree with a minimum 3.5 GPA; a Master's is preferred.
• Preferred fields: electrical, robotics, control systems, mechanical engineering, data science or related.
• Hands-on lab experience preferred.
• Experience in system dynamics and identification, signal processing, predictive maintenance, mechanical system modeling, or hardware validation.

Required skills

• Matlab for data analysis and control development.
• Building GUIs in Matlab.

What we offer

• Base pay of $26-$50 per hour depending on whether the candidate pursues a Master's or Ph.D.
• Interns are eligible for some benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with company matching, ESPP, tuition reimbursement, EAP, paid time off and family care leave.
