Algorithm Engineer Intern
KLAJob Title
Algorithm Engineer Intern
Role Summary
Internship role within the Measurement, Analytics and Control (MACH) organization focused on applying agentic and multi-agent AI to semiconductor process and inspection problems. The intern will develop, prototype, and evaluate algorithmic solutions that integrate reasoning, planning, and learning with engineering teams for deployment in production-like environments.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship (student or early-career). This role is intended for interns and early-stage researchers.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include building and evaluating agent-based AI solutions and collaborating across teams to integrate them into workflows.
- Architect and implement agentic AI solutions for semiconductor applications.
- Design and develop multi-agent systems that collaborate across semiconductor domains.
- Integrate reasoning, planning, and reinforcement-learning methods into AI workflows.
- Collaborate with hardware, software, and data teams to ensure deployment feasibility and usability.
- Continuously evaluate and apply emerging agent-based AI technologies to practical semiconductor challenges.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; degree specifics are captured under Education Requirements below.
- Experience developing AI/ML systems, preferably with exposure to agent-based systems or reinforcement learning.
- Software engineering skills, including machine learning and deep learning model development and evaluation.
- Proficiency in programming languages and frameworks such as Python and PyTorch; familiarity with C/C++ and web technologies is beneficial.
- Experience with web-based front-end development (e.g., JavaScript frameworks).
- Ability to design, evaluate, deploy, and monitor ML/agent systems in realistic settings.
- LLM pre-training experience is optional but a strong advantage.
- Basic understanding of semiconductor manufacturing concepts and domain constraints.
Education Requirements
Currently pursuing an M.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Optics, with a focus on electromagnetism, optics, or computational physics.
