Project manager

Calling the adventurers ready to join a company that's pushing the limits of nanotechnology to keep the digital revolution rolling. At KLA, we're making technology advancements that are bigger—and tinier—than the world has ever seen.

Who are we?

We research, develop, and manufacture the world's most sophisticated inspection and measurement equipment for the semiconductor front-end, back-end and nanoelectronics industries. We enable the digital age by pushing the boundaries of technology, designing tools capable of finding defects smaller than a wavelength of visible light. We build smarter processes so that technology leaders can manufacture high-performance chips—the kind in that phone in your pocket, the tablet on your desk and nearly every electronic device you own—faster and better. We're passionate about our solutions that drive progress and help people do what wouldn't be possible without us. The future is calling! Will you answer?

The ICOS division is part of the KLA group and offers inspection tools to IC packaging customers. We work closely with our customers to help assure their factories run efficiently and maintain high quality. Our IC package inspection tools are very fast, sometimes processing more than 1000 parts per minute. As a result, our teams require strong talents in optics, machine control, algorithms and applications. The ICOS division headquarters are in Leuven, Belgium with additional Engineering and Manufacturing operations in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China.

As Project Manager you bring together a multi-functional team to design, build and release differentiating products for our customers. You bring structure and efficiency to your team by keeping the bird eye view and a pro-active stakeholder management.
