Software Engineer Internship - Summer 2026

The New Product Development (NPD) Transducer Design Team plays a critical role in integrating cutting-edge recording head technologies into Hard Disk Drives (HDD). Our team oversees data from wafer processes, recording head performance, HDD performance, and reliability feedback. We also conduct failure analysis and implement actions to improve product quality based on these insights.

One of our most critical areas is analyzing reliability failures. With limited quantities, it is essential to track and analyze failures within specific groups accurately and efficiently.

• Develop robust data integration pipelines to pull, join, and harmonize disparate data sets, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and real-time or near real-time updates for effective reliability failure tracking.
• Ensure the dashboard supports intuitive filtering, searching, and reporting capabilities, allowing users to efficiently analyze reliability failures within specific groups and make data-driven decisions for product quality improvements.
• Write clear documentation for system maintenance and future expansion.

• Ability to work independently with proven problem-solving skills and out-of-box thinking mindset.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work with engineers from diverse backgrounds.
• Flexibility to adapt to frequent changes and evolving requirements.

* Tools & Technologies:

• Database: DBeaver, Apache Hive, Hadoop Spark, Oracle SQL, MySQL, Excel VBA.
