Advanced Development Senior Engineer

About our group:

 

To address the rising global demand in data usage and storage, Seagate pushes the forefront of memory storage by engineering new technologies to achieve unparallel storage density in next-generation Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).

 

Our design team leads the modelling and development efforts for device performance  and reliability using mechanically driven solutions at the micro- and nanoscale. We focus on invention, design, and demonstration of technologies for future data storage devices.

About the role - you will:

 

• Work with advanced development and product development teams in the areas of materials development and performance, microscale tribology, surface chemistry, thin film mechanics, surface process development, and magnetic recording.
• Develop experience in the process of taking a nanoscale design concept from modeling through wafer fabrication, test, and evaluation, to pre-production stages in a work environment that is dynamic and cross-functional.
• Work with magnetic, plasmonic, mechanical, and optical design teams to deliver advanced Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording technologies.
• Utilize design-of-experiments, machine learning, and statistical analysis techniques to develop fundamental understanding of interface mechanical performance and apply that understanding to guide new design directions. 
• Summarize and communicate results to teams from a diverse set of engineering disciplines.
• Have direct impact on the technology development pipeline for future data storage devices.

About you:

 

• Strong experimental technical skills and experience in the areas of materials science, physics, surface chemistry, mechanics, and materials processing.
• Have demonstrated a combination of leadership and strong teamwork skills that you will apply to initiate, execute, and collaborate on technology development projects.

Your experience includes:

 

• Micro- or Nano-scale science or technology development
• Strong experimental and analysis skills
• Ability to communicate effectively across diverse engineering teams
• A Ph.D. in an engineering or scientific discipline - strong academic background in materials science, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, applied physics, or related field

Location:

 

Our Normandale campus spans two suburbs, Edina and Bloomington, and serves as the Recording Head development and manufacturing arm of Seagate. Located in the heart of a bustling community, Seagate offers an on-site café, or if you prefer, you can drive to one of many restaurants just minutes away. Need to grab a gift over lunchtime? Shopping is abundant in the area. If working out is your thing, the on-site fully equipped fitness center hosts wellness programs, outdoor activities, tournaments, and group workouts. Looking for something more laid back? Reset in one of our meditation rooms, or simply take a walk around our indoor walking path. On-site cultural festivals, celebrations, and community volunteer opportunities also abound.
