About our group: The Head Disk Mechanical Team integrates heads and media for developing the next generation Seagate perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) and Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) products. We work with Seagate design centers and component centers around the world to stage novel head disc media interfacial technologies to improve the tribological performance, areal density, and reliability of PMR and HAMR Hard Disc Drives (HDDs). About the role - you will: Gain foundational knowledge of HDDs, recording subsystems, and future technologies Gain understanding of collaborative effort with cross-functional teams including materials science, mechanical design, test software, and reliability engineering Participate in engineering and training activities with HDM team members, for example, HDD bench testing and data analysis Perform a variety of experiments in the lab using bench instruments, computer software, Python code, signal processing, and oscilloscopes, atomic force microscopes (AFM), and optical surface analyzers Help with running experiments that enable integration novel head and media technologies to improve the tribology of PMR and HAMR head disk interfaces Data analysis using Python, JMP, Matlab, Minitab and MS Excel Perform drive measurements, integration testing, and data analysis Document findings and present results in technical reports and team meetings About you: Uphold key Seagate values of integrity, inclusion, and innovation Excellent communication and teamwork abilities Ability to communicate and collaborate with global and cross functional teams Adaptable in fast-paced, multi-priority environments Detail-oriented, results-driven, and able to work independently Hands-on problem solver Effective communicator with robust interpersonal skills Highly motivated and self-directed. Work effectively with teams, while taking initiative and executing on independent tasks to generate results
