About this role
About our group:
Our test platform development team is under Characterization and Analysis Group (CAG) that provides test solutions to support design learnings at the transducer level to the Transducer Design teams. We work closely with CAG-US and transducer designers in MN, USA, and Springtown, UK.
About the role - you will:
• Contribute to test development and hardware/software qualification for engineering test platforms and applications, with guidance from the engineering team
• Plan and execute experiments, collect measurement data, and analyze writer, reader, and thermo-mechanical component characterization results with guidance from the engineering team
• Develop or improve Python or C tools for test automation, data processing, visualization, and reporting, emphasizing reliable and reusable code
• Support test platform and application qualification by developing test plans with engineers, evaluating data quality and repeatability, and documenting methods and results
• Investigate tester, hardware, software, and measurement issues, formulate hypotheses, and propose follow-up experiments with support from experienced engineers and laboratory specialists
• Interpret experimental findings, explain limitations, and communicate conclusions and progress through technical documentation, presentations, and team discussions
About you:
• Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Physics or a related field
• Strong foundational knowledge of electronics, electrical circuits, electromagnetics, physics, or measurement principles, supported by relevant coursework or research
• Curious, self-motivated, and eager to apply graduate-level learning to engineering test platforms, component characterization, and magnetic recording technology
• Able to translate technical questions into structured experiments, follow test procedures carefully, organize data, and identify when clarification is needed
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate unexpected test results, consider alternative explanations, and draw evidence-based conclusions
• Able to work collaboratively and communicate technical methods and findings effectively with engineers, technicians, and cross-functional teams
• Positive can-do attitude, dependable work habits, and ability to take ownership of a defined technical task with appropriate guidance
• Good written and spoken English communication skills
Your experience includes:
• Experience using Python for data processing, analysis, and visualization through coursework, research, or engineering projects; familiarity with C or test automation is an advantage
• Hands-on experience with laboratory measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, digital multimeters, and signal generators, through coursework, research, or engineering projects
• Experience applying statistical methods to experimental data, including descriptive statistics, data visualization, trend analysis, and interpretation of test results; familiarity with experimental design and measurement uncertainty is an advantage
