Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Staff Integration Engineer - **Company:** Seagate Technology LLC - **Location:** Bloomington, MN, United States - **Salary:** $109,470.0 - $159,545.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Computer-Aided Design, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Statistical Hypothesis Testing, JMP (Statistical Software), BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) - **Published:** August 1, 2026 - **Apply:** https://jobs.localjobnetwork.com/apply/add/86864901/1 ## About the Role * You are self-motivated, intellectually curious, adept at problem solving, and have strong attention to detail. * You are an honest and respectful team player, capable of working in strong partnership with a diverse global group of engineers and technicians. * You are a well-organized multitasker who can balance day-to-day wafer processing needs with longer-term development work. * You are interested in mentoring and collaborating with other engineers while contributing to the success of the broader team. * You maintain thorough documentation of results and can clearly present and discuss them with engineering and management teams. * You have a track record of innovation and problem-solving and regularly use external resources (vendors, conferences, and technical literature) to inspire new ideas and directions. * You are able and eager to work in a mix of cleanroom and laboratory environments. Your experience includes: * Bachelor's Degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Chemistry, or a related science field and 8+ years of experience, or Master's degree in the same fields and 6+ years of experience, or PhD and 3+ years of experience or equivalent education and experience. * Strong hands-on experience and understanding of wafer device builds in cleanroom or industrial wafer fabrication environments. * Experience in device building, including CAD layout, device build flow simulation/visualization, WIP management, and wafer-scale integration of new processes. * Knowledge of conventional wafer unit processes (lithography, deposition, etch, CMP, and wet process) and prior experience supporting device or process module development. * Experience with in-room characterization techniques, including thin-film and device-level measurements (e.g., AFM, ellipsometry, 4-point probe, XRF, FIB, SEM, (S)TEM, etc.). * Knowledge of standard statistical experimentation methods, including hypothesis testing, DOE design and analysis, and ANOVA. You Might Also Have: * Familiarity with JMP or R is preferred but not required. ## Description * Develop wafer fabrication plans for advanced head devices from concept through component-level feasibility demonstration. * Work with the design team to translate device concepts into feasible, predictive test structures. * Lay out wafer build plans, including CAD, process modules, test requirements, and success criteria. * Coordinate with unit process owners (deposition, lithography, etch, CMP, and wet process) to achieve equipment and process readiness for prototype wafer builds. * Support wafer supply for critical experiments through wafer starts, daily WIP decisions, and ownership of daily velocity and moves parametrics. * Ensure built devices meet design intent for geometry, performance, and reliability. * Detect, pareto, and resolve new defect modes related to process module integration. * Explore new process techniques to support hardware paths needed for advanced capability and manufacturability. * Coordinate experiments, projects, and wafer tracking activities to deliver results according to the designated schedule. * Participate in transfers of promising new technologies to the product development engineering team. * Contribute to Seagate's IP portfolio in the form of invention disclosures, patents, trade secrets, peer-reviewed journal articles, and/or white papers., Our Normandale campus spans two suburbs, Edina and Bloomington, and serves as the Recording Head development and manufacturing arm of Seagate. Located in the heart of a bustling community, Seagate offers an on-site cafe, or if you prefer, you can drive to one of many restaurants just minutes away. Need to grab a gift over lunch time? Shopping is abundant in the area. If working out is your thing, the on-site fully equipped fitness center hosts wellness programs, outdoor activities, tournaments and group workouts. Looking for something more laid back? Reset in one of our meditation rooms, or simply take a walk around our indoor walking path. On-site cultural festivals, celebrations and community volunteer opportunities also abound. ## Related Videos - [Solving the puzzle: Leveraging machine learning for effective root cause analysis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1518-solving-the-puzzle-leveraging-machine-learning-for-effective-root-cause-analysis) - [Best Practices for AI-Assisted Development of Distributed Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100200-best-practices-for-ai-assisted-development-of-distributed-systems) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [Truth, Lies, and Probabilities: Testing AI Hallucinations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100178-truth-lies-and-probabilities-testing-ai-hallucinations) - [Navigating the AI Revolution in Software Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1266-navigating-the-ai-revolution-in-software-development) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [7 Important Tips That Every Software Developer Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/101-7-important-tips-that-every-software-developer-should-know) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Top Characteristics of a Software Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/166-top-characteristics-of-a-software-engineer)
