Hardware Validation Intern

About our group:

We build the electrical brains behind the world’s data.

Our team designs, integrates, and validates the electrical systems that power Seagate’s storage platforms—from first schematics and PCB bring-up to system-level testing and high-volume manufacturing. Every signal, every interface, and every watt is engineered to perform reliably at scale.

In today’s AI-driven world, where everything depends on data, our work powers the infrastructure behind cloud, enterprise, and next-generation AI. We don’t just build hardware—we ensure it works, scales, and delivers.

About the role - you will:

• Partner with Hardware and Electronics engineers to translate validation requirements into automated, scalable test solutions
• Develop Python-based tools to drive efficient, repeatable, and high-quality automated PCBA / Hardware Design Validation
• Gain hands-on experience with real hardware, executing and analyzing hardware validation tests in a lab environment
• Improve lab efficiency by optimizing test workflows, reducing cycle time, and enabling faster engineering decisions
• Play a role in ensuring designs meet stringent quality and reliability requirements

About you:

We are looking for someone who is technically curious, hands-on, and eager to take ownership of real engineering work.

• Pursuing a degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related discipline
• Experience with Python or scripting for automation, data analysis, or instrumentation control
• Strong interest in hardware systems and hardware validation concepts
• Comfortable working in a lab environment with experienced engineers to develop new test methods and debug real hardware
• Analytical thinker who enjoys breaking down complex problems and iterating on solutions
• Proactive, disciplined, and able to take ownership of assigned tasks with guidance from experienced engineers

Your experience includes:

• Academic or project experience in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related field
• Exposure to Python or scripting for automation, data analysis, or instrument control
• Coursework or hands-on experience in electronics, signal behavior, or measurement techniques
• Familiarity with PCB/PCBA design is a plus

Location:

The Shugart site (named after Seagate’s founder, Al Shugart) is a research and design center. Easily accessible from the One-North MRT Station, many employees choose to take mass transportation to work. Being a purpose-built building, The Shugart has excellent employee recreational facilities. Take an active break at our badminton courts, table tennis tables, in-house gym, and recreation rooms. Our yoga and Zumba classes are very popular. We also offer classes and interest groups in photography, gardening, and foreign languages, and have various on-site celebrations, and community volunteer opportunities.
