Job Overview

KLA is hiring a Software Quality Engineer in Chennai, India for a full-time opportunity within the Semiconductor Products and Customers business unit. The role focuses on software quality engineering, automation, test infrastructure, intelligent validation, and continuous quality improvement across the software development lifecycle.

The engineer will build scalable automation frameworks, reusable software tools, and intelligent solutions that improve product testability, accelerate defect detection, and support engineering productivity. The role combines software development, test automation, CI/CD, AI-assisted quality practices, and data-driven analysis.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks for desktop, web, API, and system-level testing.
Develop reusable software tools, libraries, APIs, and utilities that improve testability and engineering productivity.
Work closely with developers to review designs, improve code testability, and support Shift-Left quality practices.
Integrate automated validation and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
Apply AI and intelligent algorithms to generate tests, analyze logs, identify failure patterns, and accelerate root cause analysis.
Automate the collection, transformation, and reporting of test results and quality metrics.
Build actionable dashboards using Power BI or similar reporting tools.
Support DevOps, continuous testing, and release-readiness initiatives.

Required Skills

Strong software development experience using C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, or a similar programming language.
Strong understanding of object-oriented programming, object-oriented design, data structures, algorithms, design patterns, and clean coding practices.
Experience developing automation frameworks, developer tools, APIs, libraries, or test infrastructure.
Experience with UI automation tools such as Selenium, Playwright, WinAppDriver, or Coded UI.
Experience with API testing frameworks and tools such as Postman, JUnit, TestNG, RestAssured, or SoapUI.
Knowledge of REST, SOAP, XML, JSON, SQL, Git, and web-service technologies.
Experience integrating automated tests into Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or similar CI/CD platforms.
Hands-on exposure to Generative AI, AI-assisted coding, Prompt Engineering, LLM APIs, intelligent test generation, or AI-based log and failure analysis.
Strong debugging, problem-solving, and root cause analysis skills.
Good communication and collaboration skills.

Education

The role requires a Master's Level Degree with 0 years of related work experience, or a Bachelor's Level Degree with 2 years of related work experience. The supplied SoftoJobs qualification master provides M.Tech and Any Bachelor's Degree as the closest supported normalized qualification records; no specific branch is stated.
