Western Digital is an American data storage company founded in 1970 that, since separating its flash memory business as SanDisk in early 2025, concentrates entirely on hard disk drives. Its drives are sold overwhelmingly to cloud and enterprise data centre operators rather than to consumers, and the company competes with Seagate in a market where areal density technologies such as shingled and heat-assisted recording determine cost per terabyte. Headquartered in San Jose and listed on Nasdaq, it has benefited from the sharp increase in storage demand created by artificial intelligence workloads.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

58 of the 67 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - export-controlled quantum hardware and cryptography work often does - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which quantum companies hire most?

QuEra Computing (10), PsiQuantum (6), Phasecraft (4), NVIDIA (4), JPMorganChase (3).

Which employers count as quantum companies?

Companies whose main business is quantum technology - quantum computer makers (superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic, spin qubits), quantum software and algorithm companies, quantum sensing and communication, and the makers of their control electronics, lasers and cryogenics - and every role whose title names quantum work at any employer.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
