Early Career Talent - Electronics Design Engineering

You'll validate cutting-edge mixed-signal chips that make hard disk drives work—literally in the path where data gets written and read. Work on next-gen Preamp technology, solve real hardware challenges, and learn from both junior and senior engineers who'll help you grow.

What You'll Do

• Characterize next-gen Preamp chips using high-frequency RF test gear (Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers)
• Automate testing workflows – write/modify TCL scripts to speed up validation cycles
• Debug signal integrity issues on prototype boards; run failure analysis and publish findings
• Partner with chip designers and vendors – test theories, verify fixes, optimize HDD performance
• Build test plans from scratch – design experiments, collect data, document what works (and what doesn't)

First 90 days: Ramp on Preamp architecture → Support component testing → Ship your first automated test scripts
