Job Description
KLA is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer — Integration to embed with KLA teams, build AI-automatable solutions, and develop executive and business-facing AI tools. The ideal candidate has a Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, and 1+ years of experience building and deploying AI/ML systems or data-intensive applications.
Requirements
- Embed with KLA teams — including teams where nobody has written a line of code — and map their highest-friction workflows to AI-automatable solutions
- Ship production agent systems within weeks of starting an engagement; iterate with the team until the system is stable and trusted
- Build executive and business-facing AI tools: email summarization, meeting prep, action item tracking, cross-document intelligence, and presentation assembly from source data
- Build agent wrappers around existing data infrastructure without rewriting source systems
- Help build internal AI infrastructure that removes friction and makes every employee at KLA more effective with AI — not just the technical ones
- Design reusable patterns and components that accelerate every future deployment — what you build once should make the next deployment faster
- Build integration layers that connect enterprise tools into unified AI-ready environments for non-technical users
- Identify and train the local AI champion on every engagement — transfer ownership completely and leave a written playbook
- Contribute implementation patterns and best-known-methods to the team's internal library for citizen developer enablement
- Stay ahead of the model and tooling frontier: track releases from major providers and the agentic orchestration ecosystem, and bring what's relevant back to the team
