Tech Program / Project Manager

To make electronics, you need chips, wafers, transistors, reticles, and... To make these, you must see, test and manufacture them at scale—faster and better than ever before. That's where KLA comes in. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced professional, you'll solve complex challenges, work alongside brilliant minds and help shape the future of technology. Group/Division The Semiconductor Products and Customers (Semi PC) business unit designs, builds and sells KLA’s product portfolio to help chip manufacturers meet high-quality standards for technologies like AI, data centers, automotive and electronic devices. Our inspection, metrology, and analytics systems detect and monitor defects across logic and memory chips, specialty semiconductors, wafers, reticles, advanced packaging, process equipment and materials. We also develop technologies for specialty processes, IC substrates, and PCB manufacturing, including etch and deposition, component inspection, and imaging and analytics. The Surfscan® division develops unpatterned wafer inspection systems that detect nanoscale particles and surface defects early in semiconductor manufacturing. Its systems monitor wafer quality across a wide range of applications, enabling faster issue identification and improved process control. What You'll Do In this role, you will play a key part in advancing business priorities by delivering high-impact work across your area of expertise. What You'll Do ·    Program leadership: Own the integrated program plan from definition through delivery, including scope, milestones, dependencies, critical path, decision points, and measurable outcomes. ·    Cross-functional execution: Align software, systems, electrical, algorithms, applications, and hardware teams around priorities, commitments, and release readiness. ·    Product integration: Coordinate integration across High-Performance Computing (HPC) software, tool software, hardware, and processing workflows to deliver a reliable bench solution. ·    Risk and issue management: Identify technical, schedule, resource, and operational risks early; drive mitigation, escalation, and replanning when conditions change. ·    Product lifecycle governance: Lead the team through KLA's Product Lifecycle process, ensuring plans, evidence, risks, and cross-functional readiness are clear at key decision points. ·    Release and operational readiness: Partner with marketing, supply chain, manufacturing, install, and service teams to prepare solutions for deployment, support, and scale. ·    Customer readiness: Work with marketing and global customers to understand operating environments and define site-preparation and IT requirements that support successful product adoption. ·    Executive communication: Use relevant metrics and concise, objective updates to communicate progress, decisions, trade-offs, risks, and business impact.
