Our Characterization and Analytic Group (CAG) supports recording head development. Within CAG, the Mechanical Electrical Integration (MechEI) team in Teparuk, Thailand, explores how mechanical and electrical behavior at the recording head (transducer) level influences product performance.\nWe turn experimental data into insights that help recording head designers improve future designs. As an intern, you will connect your academic knowledge with practical engineering applications, develop analysis and automation methods, and collaborate with operations teams, test developers, and recording head designers in Thailand and the USA.\nAbout the role - you will:\nExplore TGA/HGA engineering datasets, including frequency response functions (FRF), shape/profile measurements, and other mechanical and electrical parameters.\nIdentify patterns, normal behavior, and variation to understand what engineering data reveals about system performance.\nDevelop data-driven, statistically supported criteria to detect and flag unusual behavior, making evaluation more consistent and less dependent on visual inspection.\nInvestigate unusual signatures using failure analysis and data correlation to identify potential key process input variables (KPIVs) and contributing mechanisms.\nApply and deepen your knowledge of statistical and engineering methods, such as correlation, regression, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance (ANOVA), multivariate analysis, and Design of Experiments (DOE), as appropriate to the problem.\nBuild quantitative models and transfer functions linking key process input variables (KPIVs) to key process output variables (KPOVs), helping explain how inputs affect engineering outcomes.\nTest your models across different conditions and datasets to understand their reliability, robustness, and limitations.\nHelp turn your findings into standardized analysis methods, abnormality criteria, and practical evaluation guidelines the wider team can use.\nCreate scripts and tools that automate repetitive data processing, visualization, and analysis using Python, MATLAB, JMP, Minitab, or equivalent analytical tools.\nShare your methods, findings, and recommendations through clear documentation and technical discussions with cross-functional engineering teams.\nAbout you:\nYou are curious about how physical systems work and enjoy using data to explore questions and test ideas. You want to apply your academic knowledge to practical engineering challenges while learning new tools and working with others. You bring:\nCuriosity, a willingness to learn, and confidence to ask questions\nLogical thinking and a structured approach to problem-solving\nAn interest in mechanical dynamics and vibration\nOpenness to feedback and a collaborative approach to learning and teamwork\nA willingness to share ideas and collaborate in a diverse, international engineering environment\nYour experience includes:\nCurrent enrollment in a master’s or PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or a related field\nBasic programming experience in Python, C, or a similar language, gained through coursework, research, or projects\nFamiliarity with working with data using Excel, JMP, SQL, or equivalent tools\nHelpful, but not required:\nExposure through coursework, research, or projects to mechanical or electromechanical test data, such asvibration, frequency response, or surface topography\nExperience creating scripts, automating analysis, or developing toolsfor engineering applications\nAbility to communicate in English for technical discussions and collaboration\nInterest in recording head technology, precision mechanics, or advanced hardware systems\nLocation:\nOur Teparuk site specializes in producing nano-recording heads-a crucial component for the read/write functionality of hard disk drives. At our Teparuk facility, work is both productive and enjoyable. You and your colleagues can grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks at our 24/7 on-site canteen and coffee shop. Stay active by taking a few laps around our running track or participating in volleyball, basketball, table tennis, badminton, or football at our on-site gymnasium and fitness center. We also offer a variety of activities, including music, dance, and aerobic classes. Alternatively, unwind in our lush green areas. Consider joining any of our employee resource groups (ERGs), such as Seagate Women in Leadership Network (SWLN), Seagate PRIDE: Thailand chapter, or Seagate’s parents and caregivers group. These ERGs provide educational and fun activities. Additionally, enjoy on-site festivals, celebrations, and opportunities to give back to the local community.\nLocation: Teparuk Thailand\nTravel: None","description_format":"text","description_chars":4842,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Thailand","iso":"TH","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T07:54:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":13,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/seagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/seagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T10:31:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22682,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1756651},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1756651"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fseagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fseagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fseagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/seagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fseagate-technology-mechanical-data-analysis-intern-recording-head-technology"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3793521}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"seagate.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3793521},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
