About our group:

The RMO Sputter Process Engineering team is responsible for driving process control, monitoring, and continuous improvement for PMR and HAMR media products. The team supports stable, high‑quality manufacturing by optimizing ultra‑high vacuum (UHV) sputter systems, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), reducing downtime, and enhancing cost efficiency across hardware and consumables. In addition, the group plays a key role in new product readiness, process conversions, media performance improvement, and defect reduction through data‑driven engineering solutions and close collaboration with cross‑functional partners.

About the role - you will:

As a RMO Sputter Process Engineering Intern, you will support digital transformation and smart manufacturing initiatives within sputter operations by applying data science and analytics techniques to real production environments.You will:

• Support the development of smart sputter systems by assisting in building data‑driven models for process control, prediction, and quality monitoring
• Analyze large engineering datasets to identify trends, correlations, and potential root causes related to process performance, yield, and defects
• Support the refinement of Key Process Input Variable (KPIV) anomaly detection systems for HAMR and PMR processes
• Develop and maintain dashboards (e.g., Tableau) to visualize process performance, equipment health, and OEE insights
• Assist in prototyping, testing, and evaluating machine learning and AI models for manufacturing applications
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including Process, Equipment, Maintenance, Launch, and IT to translate data insights into actionable improvements

What Will You Learn and Embark on at the Start?

During this internship, you will gain hands‑on experience working with real production data (HAMR/PMR) and exposure to semiconductor and thin‑film manufacturing processes. You will develop practical experience applying AI and machine learning in a manufacturing environment, learn process control and OEE analytics, and contribute to solutions that can directly impact production performance.
