ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop, deliver, and support material and chemical analysis of HDDs and incoming components to ensure HDD reliability and quality. You will partner with manufacturing, component engineering, and HDD engineering to modernize and optimize analysis techniques during both development phase and volume production phase.
- Develop, deliver, and support material and chemical root cause analysis for failures from internal manufacturing and test processes and customer-end processes (e.g., MTP, QA test, Field Returns, etc.). You will partner with internal and external stakeholders to manage, solution mitigation, and implement corrective action based on root cause analysis results.
- Develop or enhance, deliver, and support cleaning technology and processes, and analyzing manufacturing processes cleanliness to ensure HDD reliability and quality. You will partner with stakeholders of various manufacturing processes (e.g., HSA process, washing process, HDD manufacturing, etc.) to assess, mitigate, and implement solutions to cleanliness issues detected.
- Collaborate with Material Lab and Chemical Integration Lab in the US and Japan to identify root cause of issues detected.
- Build close relationships with universities in Thailand and collaborate on research projects. You will partner with subject matter experts in the HDD OU and BU to define research collaboration opportunities with universities in Thailand.
