Senior Staff Engineer integrating optics and laser designs into hard disk drives at Seagate. Responsible for design, calibration, and validation of laser systems for HDD products.
Responsibilities
Use knowledge of optics physics and laser design to integrate new laser, channel wave guide, and NFT designs into HDDs.
Design calibration methods that accommodate manufacturing variation in light delivery in the drive.
Design tuning and optimization techniques that accommodate thermal, head-disk-spacing, and other sources of variation during the drive operating lifetime.
Work with the laser and head manufacturing team to specify and validate light delivery CTQs.
Serve as an optical and laser subject matter expert in cross-functional technology development teams.
Work to understand laser failure modes and design in-situ burn-in techniques, runtime failure detection features, and post-failure analysis techniques.
Design integrated-laser characterization tests that can be performed in the formatting and test process to improve both screening efficiency and design and manufacturing feedback.
Understand sources of fast-time-constant variation that can lead to areal density capability loss and specify design opportunities for areal density improvement.
Demonstrate and validate new early design samples using drive bench techniques and tools.
Contribute to Seagate’s IP portfolio in the form of invention disclosures, patents, trade secrets, journal articles, and/or white papers.
