Head Disc Mechanical Integration Intern
Samut Prakan, TH
About our group:
The Head Disc Mechanical (HDM) team is at the heart of innovation in hard disk drive (HDD) technology. We serve as the key connection between the Recording Head Technology (RHT) team, the Process & Product Development Integration team, and the manufacturing operations in Thailand. Our team leads mechanical design efforts and supports experimental validation to ensure engineering best practices are applied and learning is well-structured. We focus on collecting and analyzing critical data, conducting failure analysis (FA), and driving root cause investigations to deliver fast, high-quality solutions.
About the role - you will:
Demonstrate the ability to rapidly absorb new technical knowledge and develop a solid understanding of hard disk drive (HDD) technology, manufacturing processes, and product performance metrics. Provide support for ongoing engineering activities, including performance monitoring, root cause analysis (RCA), and the development of data-driven solutions to improve product quality and reliability. Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams of engineers and analysts to gather technical insights, validate findings, and recommend actionable improvements. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying and exploring opportunities to apply artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance workflow efficiency, predictive capabilities, and operational performance. Gain practical experience in system integration by assisting in the design, testing, and deployment of engineering prototypes in production-representative environments. #internship
