Associate Test Engineer, Analytical Instrumentation

Group/Division KLA has manufacturing sites worldwide. The Global Operations (GOPS) team, comprised of Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing Engineering, Installation and Quality, builds our leading-edge technology. GOPS partners with KLA's global supply base and design engineering teams to develop new products, working continuously to build better, faster and more cost-efficient solutions.

Every advanced semiconductor tool that leaves KLA must meet strict cleanliness standards. In this role you will be the person who proves it — running analytical instruments in our Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) laboratory to measure contamination at sub parts-per-billion levels on production components.

This position is likely to be filled as a day shift role , but flexibility for swing shift (1:00 PM – 10:00 PM) may be required.

Core Responsibilities

• Operate, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair GCMS instruments to keep the lab running at peak performance.
• Independently prepare samples, execute analytical testing, interpret results, and deliver accurate reports in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Separate, identify, and quantify trace-level impurities and target compounds.
• Set up and conduct materials outgassing experiments — develop procedures, collect data, analyze results, and maintain thorough documentation.
• Partner with MDE chemists and build strong working relationships with internal manufacturing customers.
• Manage laboratory inventories (reagents, gas cylinders, consumables) and coordinate sampling-kit shipments to customer sites.
