The Principal Engineer will evaluate wafer-level designs, coordinate cross-functional teams, track technology milestones, and develop AI/ML initiatives within HDD manufacturing.

This position involves performing assembly and measurement tasks on electronic components, mechanical construction, optimizing optical setups, programming measurement control, and analyzing measurement data.

The Senior Tax Analyst prepares and reviews income tax provisions, tax compliance, and GAAP disclosures and supports tax automation initiatives and examinations.

Design and optimize measurement software using AI methods, conduct measurements and analyze data, document results, and assist in mechanical construction of measurement setups.

Quota-carrying strategic account manager responsible for driving multi-year datacenter storage adoption across platform and infrastructure customers. Own account strategy, pipeline, and complex deals; lead architecture-led selling, executive engagement, product qualification, and new technology introduction to convert roadmap alignment into repeatable revenue.

Lead design and execution of global customs and trade programs (CTPAT/AEO, sustainability, record retention, compliance assurance). Build governance, manage audits and certifications, deploy AI-enabled tooling, run risk assessments, drive continuous improvement, train stakeholders, and coordinate cross-functional and external partners to ensure regulatory readiness and program scalability.

Design, develop, and validate precision mechanical components and assemblies for HDD products. Perform CAD design, GD&T, FEA and modal analysis, tolerance stack-ups, prototyping, environmental testing, FMEA, and cross-functional integration with suppliers and firmware/servo teams to meet performance and reliability targets.

Partner to a Vice President providing executive support, strategic program and portfolio management, operating-rhythm ownership (MBRs/QBRs/board materials), cross-functional project leadership, organizational effectiveness improvements, knowledge management in Confluence, executive communications, and talent and vendor coordination to enable strategic priorities and execution.

Develop and validate head-media interfaces and recording media for HDDs, optimize sputtering and deposition processes to reduce defects and improve yield, scale designs for high-volume manufacturing, perform testing and reliability validation, analyze manufacturing data, document results, and support transfer from development to production.

Support photo-area manufacturing equipment: diagnose failures, optimize tools, lead corrective actions, train maintenance and technicians, establish procedures, collaborate with process and electrical engineering, manage PMs and vendor escalations, and ensure safety and QA compliance.

Lead and scale an enterprise Process Mining Center of Excellence using Celonis to diagnose, prioritize, and drive process re-engineering across ERP-driven end-to-end processes. Build data pipelines, author object-centric data models and PQL KPIs, run task mining, govern baselines/targets in BPMN, and deliver investment-ready transformation opportunities with adoption, value tracking, and change management.

PhD intern will support Hardware Development Engineering by sustaining non-critical process layers, troubleshooting excursions, assigning layer ownership, assisting photo process development for new layers/products, supporting mask management tasks, and helping manufacturing engineers execute project work on a project-by-project basis.

Provide electronics and firmware support across design, manufacturing, and customer teams for HDD products: debug hardware/firmware issues, collaborate with firmware and HW teams, develop manufacturing/customer failure-trend tools, and maintain system-level test/debug tools and processes.

Ensure media operation yield and quality meet targets by monitoring indicators, troubleshooting using statistical and engineering analysis, coordinating evaluations, supporting NPI transfers, identifying early yield issues, collaborating cross-functionally, mentoring new engineers, and driving projects to improve yield, quality, and utilization.

Supervise QC processes by tracking and managing eNCS on-hold/off-hold cases, coordinating with QC/QA engineers, training technicians, reviewing rework and off-hold assessments, attending production and quality meetings, and driving QC improvement projects.

Manage and supervise MRE engineering technicians and operators executing DET Guzik and QMT testing. Ensure test quality, equipment readiness, data reporting, training/OJT, attendance, safety, IMS audit prep, and lead continuous improvement and cross-department coordination.
