Senior Electrical Hardware Design Engineer - Mixed-Signal Sensor Systems

About the role

KLA develops advanced sensing and measurement technologies for semiconductor manufacturing. As a Senior Electrical Hardware Design Engineer for Mixed-Signal Sensor Systems, you will help build instrumented wafer products that combine precision sensors, embedded electronics, power management, communications and data acquisition in highly constrained environments. The role suits someone who enjoys owning technical problems, making design decisions and working across disciplines from concept through production.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop mixed-signal electrical subsystems for instrumented wafer products.
• Define electrical architectures and evaluate tradeoffs in performance, power, reliability, manufacturability and cost.
• Develop low-power analog and digital circuitry for sensing, measurement and embedded applications.
• Select and integrate sensors, ADCs, microcontrollers, memory, batteries, communication interfaces and power-management circuitry.
• Create schematics and drive PCB/substrate development through design reviews and release.
• Define system-level performance requirements, error budgets, measurement specs, calibration strategies and measurement traceability.
• Develop and run validation plans, electrical characterization and design verification testing.
• Lead technical investigations, troubleshoot hardware issues and drive root-cause analysis.
• Collaborate with firmware, systems, mechanical, manufacturing and product engineering teams.

Required profile

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of experience designing and developing electronic hardware products (preferred: 5 years for a bachelor's degree).
• Hands-on lab experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs and other test equipment.
• Ability to independently execute subsystem designs with limited supervision.

Required skills

• Mixed-signal circuit design, including analog and digital electronics.
• Schematic capture and PCB design and integration.
• Preferred: precision sensor interfaces, low-power electronics, SPI/I2C/UART/RF/BLE or optical interfaces.
• Preferred: PCB tools such as Altium, OrCAD, Cadence, PADS; simulation tools such as LTspice, ADS, HyperLynx, MATLAB or Python.

What we offer

• Base pay range of $117,800 to $200,300 annually, depending on role, level and location.
• Possible performance incentives and benefits such as medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k) with company match, ESPP, tuition reimbursement, EAP, paid time off and family care leave.
