Advanced Material Modeling and Media Physics Research Engineering Summer Intern

You will be working in the recording physics and advanced development group at Seagate recording media research center where we help understand media recording physics and design directions for further extending data storage capacity. The team works closely with the media fabrication team and plays a critical role in developing the next generation recording technology

• Help develop Molecular Dynamics (MD) Modeling capability with the team to understand deposition process of FePt granular structure
• Improve our Thin Film Materials growth Modeling and compare with Microstructure analysis from TEM
• Compare measurement results with modeling results to understand the underlying media Physics and help provide insights for media design improvements
• Develop and improve existing models to evaluate recording Physics and media designs for Heat-assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) media.
• Improve the efficiency of existing recording modeling, integrating different modeling modules to enhance the Modeling capability, ranging from Atomistic, LLB and recording system modeling
• For suitable candidate with related experience, you could be involved with designing and improving state-of-art magnetic and optical characterization tools for HAMR

• Proficient communication with team members.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a creative environment.

• Expert in Molecular Dynamics Modeling.
• Familiar with Linux system as a user.
• Familiar with C/C++ (CUDA optional but nice to have)
• Familiar with Python
• Knowledge and experience with thin film Materials Science
• Experience and skillsets to integrate magnetic, electrical and optical characterizations tools are also highly desirable for the potential projects
• Knowledge and experience with SolidWorks, Data Acquisition and Instrumentation control software
• Currently pursuing a Master or PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, and returning to school in the fall.

You may also have:

• Other helpful skills include: previous experience with computational simulations and modeling of magnetic systems
• Experience with magnetic characterizations would be a strong plus and we could match the summer intern projects with the relevant skillsets
• Molecular Dynamics simulations of composite materials growth would be a strong plus
