Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) Media Research Intern
Materials Characterization
Likely openWe list a role only while we believe it is still open. Confirm on the posting before you apply.
What stands out
- Pay is stated up front — $41 – $48 / hour. Most postings never say.
- Nobody had applied when this was listed — you would be near the front of the queue.
- Posted in the last 24 hours.
The gist
This research role involves advanced materials characterization for next-gen hard disk drives. You'll use electron microscopy and data science to study magnetic thin films and support HAMR technology development. Ideal for graduate students with experience in materials science or physics.
What you would actually do
- Analyze microstructure and chemical composition of HAMR media using TEM, STEM, and EELS
- Develop data analysis tools with Python for advanced microscopy datasets
- Collaborate with materials scientists and engineers on media performance optimization
