About KLA
KLA's sellers carry named chipmakers rather than open territories: an account sales manager owns one fab customer's business for a product line (inspection, metrology, advanced packaging), follows its tools from R&D into high-volume manufacturing and negotiates price and contracts with its engineers and procurement. Thirteen of the 20 sales-titled openings are these account seats, and most sit next to the fabs in Asia: four at the Hsinchu-Zhubei office split by product, one in Taoyuan, three for the SK and Samsung business units in Korea (the Samsung one an ECI seat that asks for electroplating and wet chemistry background), three in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing, plus a Dresden seat covering Germany and other European markets against quarterly and annual targets, and a Boise posting for a memory customer that KLA runs as a standing talent pool rather than a live opening. Service is sold separately: two service sales managers, one based in Austin, Boise or Milpitas and one in Shanghai or Wuxi, renew and expand support contracts at large fabs and answer for their revenue and margin. At the Milpitas headquarters three business development managers set pricing, bundles and forecasts for the metrology and inspection divisions (one aimed at China, one at Taiwan), while a sales operations analyst there and a sales administrator in Hsinchu run bookings, orders and quotes. By place, 6 of the 20 are in the US, 6 in Taiwan, 4 in mainland China, 3 in Korea and 1 in Germany.

Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.
