We are engaged in the research and development process, and once the technology is mature, we partner with product engineering groups who then build products based on the technology we've developed. The Office of the CTO also provides technical input into KLA's strategic planning process, program reviews and Product Life Cycle (PLC) phases. * Proactively explore breakthrough materials, processes, and coating technologies, assessing feasibility, supplier capabilities, and long‑term technology risks. * Collaborate closely with optical design, system engineering, and product teams across KLA's global divisions to align research outcomes with product roadmaps. * Proven expertise in the design and development of optical thin‑film coatings across DUV, UV, VIS, and NIR wavelength ranges, including materials, processes, and substrates.
