Our Advance Modeling and Design (AMD) group in Mechanical Technology Development develops recording head technology for Seagate's HDD products being introduced in 2 to 4+ years. The AMD group is responsible for underpinning the mechanical requirements for new technology, creating and deploying modeling tools, making performance assessments of new designs, and maturing selected technologies to productization.

• Use existing modeling software, and create new computational models, to simulate the performance and failure modes of critical Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) features, including the plasmonic near-field transducer, actuators, and light path.
• Interface with device test groups to understand the performance and limitations of current designs as well as the new designs that you generate.
• Work together with transducer designers to invent, model, and enable experimental evaluation of new designs such as proximity sensors, MEMS actuators, and new recording devices.
• Work with the wafer process integration teams to generate new ideas ranging from test devices on wafers all the way to complete recording heads that can be practically built.

• You are an innovative and self-motivated worker.
• You have excellent spoken and written communication skills, and strong collaborative abilities.
• You enjoy learning about physical sciences and applying this knowledge to solve engineering problems.
• You have worked with common computational models in the fields of solid mechanics, heat transfer, and/or material science, including Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Finite Element Models (FEMs) highly preferred.

• Using and programming diverse computational modeling techniques, with a strong understanding of both the theory and application of numerical methods.
• You have worked with common computational models in the fields of solid mechanics, heat transfer, and/or material science, including Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Finite Element Models (FEMs) highly preferred.
• Additional useful knowledge with application to the development of HDD recording heads, such as fluid dynamics, nanoscale sciences, solid state physics, electrical engineering, chemistry, tribology, non-geometrical optics, plasmonics, and/or magnetics/micro magnetics.
• Familiarity with microfabrication processes.
• Knowledge of applied statistics and Design of Experiments.
• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline and 5 years of work experience. OR
• Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline and 3 years of work experience OR
• PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline and some research experience.

Location: Normandale, MN

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 cafe, or if you prefer, you can drive to one of many restaurants just minutes away. Need to grab a gift over lunch time? 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.
