Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead maintenance, reliability, and improvement of sputtering equipment for HDD media. Manage installations, upgrades, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, preventive/predictive maintenance, and cross-functional projects to maximize equipment availability, yield, and OEE while mentoring engineering staff.

Lead mechanical design and development for precision testing and automation equipment: create detailed 3D/2D designs, BOMs, tolerance analyses, prototype, debug, perform FA/root cause analyses, collaborate with global teams, and support overseas ramp-up and production qualification.

Lead investigation of head-media HAMR laser-magnetic recording physics, design and run experiments (DOEs), perform data characterization and physical failure analysis, collaborate with design and HW/SW test teams, support cross-site DOE and FA, and demonstrate head-media capacity each quarter through detailed characterization.

Lead sputter process engineering activities: plan and coordinate sputter system startups/conversions, audit SPC and procedures, troubleshoot yield and quality issues, drive process improvement and qualification projects, and supervise/train technicians and junior engineers to meet utilization, yield, and quality goals.

Sustain and troubleshoot vacuum thin film deposition (PVD/IBD), characterize films (XRF, XRR, TEM, BH-Looper), analyze wafer probe data, perform wafer-level failure analysis, and transfer/qualify deposition processes into production.

Design, develop, test, integrate, and maintain embedded firmware for eHDD storage products (SAS, SATA, PCIe). Implement data structures, drivers, and algorithms in C/C++ and Python, perform technical investigations, collaborate across hardware/software, and produce firmware design documents.

Investigate and determine root causes of hard disk drive failures across development, qualification, manufacturing, and field operations. Perform structured root-cause analysis, document test procedures and results, update failure tracking, drive CAPA with design/manufacturing/suppliers, validate fixes through re-testing, and support cross-functional FA reviews and technical discussions to improve product reliability and quality.

Early-career engineer participates in a 24-month BEST program to apply graduate-level engineering knowledge to manufacturing process analysis, yield improvement, and technology development for slider processing and HGA assembly. Leads small technical projects with mentor oversight, performs data-driven process capability and DOE studies, prepares technical reports and training, and supports cross-functional milestones and presentations.

Hands-on internship supporting equipment engineering and Industry 4.0 initiatives in a manufacturing environment. Contribute to automation, IoT/smart device deployment, online monitoring, data analytics and dashboard development to improve equipment performance. Collaborate with Equipment, Process, and IT teams, participate in troubleshooting, and document findings and operating procedures.

Early-career manufacturing engineer in a structured 24-month development program supporting slider processing and HGA manufacturing. Participate in technical training, support small process-improvement projects, document standard work, collect yield and efficiency data, and work under mentor guidance toward permanent placement.
