About our group:
About the role - you will:

We are seeking an exceptionally qualified and experienced Staff Engineer to lead the design, qualification, improvement, and cross-functional integration of backend test systems for hard disk drive manufacturing environments. This role is highly specialized and demands deep domain expertise in legacy and current tester platforms (specifically Gemini and Nimbus), equipment-level system engineering, and end-to-end equipment qualification.

The successful candidate will function as a central technical authority on vibration, thermal, power, and automation reliability, and will also provide strategic consultation for system upgrades, support obsolescence resolution, and lead data-driven diagnostics and performance improvements at the factory level.

  • Serve as the primary technical liaison between the factory operations and engineering for backend tester systems, addressing field inquiries, emergent issues, performance deviations, and new capability requests.
  • Lead system-level engineering consultation for existing and future test equipment, covering areas such as thermal management, vibration control, power consumption, mechanical interface, and automation reliability.
  • Own the complete lifecycle of equipment qualification, including development of comprehensive test plans, scripting, execution, data logging, analysis, documentation, and review.
  • Provide architectural-level recommendations and concepts for upgrading or extending the functionality of legacy equipment platforms to meet evolving factory requirements.
  • Direct cross-functional collaboration with hardware, firmware, mechanical, electronics, and software engineers to translate system-level recommendations into integrated solutions.
  • Analyze heterogeneous factory and tester data sources to extract actionable insights for fault diagnostics, design improvements, and predictive maintenance recommendations.
  • Sustain technical leadership over Gemini and Nimbus backend tester systems, including all improvement initiatives, part obsolescence resolution (EOL), and sustaining engineering.
  • Manage setup and execution of vibration measurement campaigns, including the use of LabVIEW, NI 4472 data acquisition cards, B&K accelerometers, and associated instrumentation (e.g., Keysight DAQ switch units).
  • Maintain and evolve in-house test scripts and programs tailored to equipment capability assessment and facilitate their deployment in the test ecosystem.
About you:
  • Solution-Oriented Mindset: Demonstrates a proactive, "can-do" attitude with a consistent focus on identifying solutions rather than barriers.
  • Execution-Driven: Known for taking ownership, delivering outcomes, and ensuring that critical projects are brought to completion with a high degree of quality and reliability.
  • Adaptability: Proven ability to apply existing skillsets across diverse systems and equipment platforms, adjusting rapidly to new environments, technologies, and challenges.
  • Continuous Improvement Focus: Committed to personal and technical growth through ongoing learning, experimentation, and application of new tools and methodologies.
  • Technical Versatility: Able to extrapolate existing engineering and analytical expertise into adjacent domains, demonstrating initiative in applying knowledge beyond initial scope.
  • Collaborative and Self-Motivated: Equally effective working autonomously or within cross-functional teams, with a strong sense of initiative and responsibility.
Your experience includes:
  • Hands-on experience with backend tester platforms and demonstrate the ability to work autonomously across engineering disciplines is mandatory.
