About the role

As an Advanced Algorithm Intern within the Film and Scatterometry Technology (FaST) division, you will contribute to research in metrology technologies by investigating and characterizing solutions against best-known methods. You will collect data using KLA tools and software, analyze results, and automate analysis workflows.

What you'll do

• Develop electromagnetic solvers and implement them on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms.
• Explore machine learning techniques to speed up electromagnetic solvers.
• Collect data using KLA tools and software, then analyze and summarize the results.
• Help automate data and analysis workflows.

What you'll need

• Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong background in computational physics.
• Experience implementing algorithms on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms.
• Familiarity with computational electromagnetic methods (e.g., RCWA, FDTD, FEM).
• Proficiency in Python, Triton, or CUDA.
• Strong data visualization skills.

Nice to have

• Electromagnetics background within computational physics.
• GPU experience implementing algorithms.
• Knowledge of machine learning for physics-based problems (e.g., Fourier Neural Operator, Physics-Informed Neural Networks).
• Knowledge of machine learning for image processing or image denoising.

Skills: electromagnetic solvers, RCWA, FDTD, CUDA, Python, metrology
