Our team builds internal tools that power the development of world-class hard disk drives. You won't be designing the hardware itself-but you will be designing the software tools that help engineers make smarter, faster, data-driven decisions that shape the future of storage technology. In this role, you will design and develop software applications and data collection frameworks that analyze servo-mechanical behavior and system performance in eHDDs. These applications run in Windows and Linux environments and scale from individual machines to large, multi-device test setups. The tools you build help engineering teams evaluate designs, validate software and firmware changes, and accelerate development cycles through automation and visibility. This position works at the intersection of application software, embedded systems, and system-level validation. You will work hands-on with eHDDs, develop software that communicates directly with firmware and low-level system interfaces, and gain exposure to how complex eHDD systems behave under software control., What you'll do (and grow doing): * Design and build custom internal software tools that transform raw HDD development and production data into actionable insights, directly accelerating product innovation and time-to-market. * Architect and develop ETL systems, web-based applications, advanced analytics and ML Models and it's pipelines that empower product engineers to make data-driven decisions and push the boundaries of storage technology. * Work closely with hard disk drives and test environments, including preparing devices for validation and analysis workflows * Leverage modern frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, svelte), languages (Python, C/C++, Node.js), databases (MySQL, SingleStore, Redshift, Elasticsearch) and distributed systems (Kafka, Kubernetes) to solve complex engineering challenges and build scalable solutions. * Participate actively in architecture discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving sessions that strengthen both the codebase and your technical expertise. * Create comprehensive internal documentation and guides that democratize access to your tools, multiplying your impact across the engineering organization. * Thrive in an Hyrbid, fast-paced, highly collaborative team environment that values ownership, intellectual curiosity, and continuous learning-where your contributions directly influence the future of storage innovation., WD is committed to providing equal opportunities to all applicants and employees and will not discriminate against any applicant or employee based on their race, color, ancestry, religion (including religious dress and grooming standards), sex (including pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, breastfeeding or related medical conditions), gender (including a person's gender identity, gender expression, and gender-related appearance and behavior, whether or not stereotypically associated with the person's assigned sex at birth), age, national origin, sexual orientation, medical condition, marital status (including domestic partnership status), physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, protected medical and family care leave, Civil Air Patrol status, military and veteran status, or other legally protected characteristics.
