Job Description/Preferred Qualifications

Key Responsibilities

• 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

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field
• 1+ years of experience building and deploying AI/ML systems or data-intensive applications (strong new grads with demonstrated projects considered)
• Strong programming skills in Python; experience with SQL and data pipeline tooling
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and agentic orchestration frameworks
• Experience building RAG systems, document ingestion pipelines, and experimenting with model harnesses
• Experience or strong interest in building plugin architectures, skill distribution systems, or extensible tool platforms
