Job Description

We are inviting applications for a position in optical and magnetic device fabrication as part of Wafer Process Development team, where our mission is to invent and develop technology for future products, such as Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR). This is an opportunity to work where magnetic, optical and plasmonic devices converge on a nanoscale.

In this role, you will work as a Material Scientist and Thin Film Process Engineer at WD’s wafer fab in Fremont, CA.  You will be responsible for developing novel materials and thin film processes on near-field transducer and adhesion layer subsystems for fabrication of HAMR devices and focusing on material aspects of improving device lifetime at elevated operating temperature. The job requires interfacing with engineers and scientists in process integration, characterization, and design groups.
