Intern - Advanced Data Storage Micromagnetic Modeler
About The Position
The Advanced Data Storage Device Physics Group within the Seagate Research Group (SRG) is responsible for conducting research on advanced data storage and memory technologies through experimentation and physics-based simulation. The work performed by this team directly informs the Company's ten-year storage product roadmap. About the role - you will: â Conduct research on advanced data storage systems through micromagnetic modeling, using atomistic or renormalized methods. â Use proprietary or off-the-shelf micromagnetic software to investigate magnetic phenomena important to future magnetic data storage. â Recording systems to be investigated may include HAMR (heat-assisted magnetic recording), optical interactions with magnetic recording media, and spin-torque assisted magnetic switching. â Work closely with test engineers and data analysts in order to use models to explain experimentally observed phenomena.
Requirements
- Experience with programming languages (Python, Cuda, C++, Fortran, etc.)
- Familiar with the physics of magnetic materials, magnetism, spin transport, optical interactions with magnetic materials, and/or magnetic data storage
- Self-motivated and demonstrated ability to adapt to a changing environment and learn new technology
- Flexibility to operate under supervision and independently
- Excellent team player
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- A Ph.D. candidate in an engineering or scientific discipline and must be enrolled back at school for Fall 2026.
Nice To Haves
