At Western Digital, our vision is to power global innovation and push the boundaries of technology to make what you thought was once impossible, possible.
At our core, Western Digital is a company of problem solvers. People achieve extraordinary things given the right technology. For decades, we've been doing just that—our technology helped people put a man on the moon and capture the first-ever picture of a black hole.
We offer an expansive portfolio of technologies, HDDs, and platforms for business, creative professionals, and consumers alike under our Western Digital, WD, and WD\_BLACK.
We are a key partner to some of the largest and highest-growth organizations in the world. From enabling systems to make cities safer and more connected, to powering the data centers behind many of the world's biggest companies and hyperscale cloud providers, to meeting the massive and ever-growing data storage needs of the AI era, Western Digital is fueling a brighter, smarter future.
Today's exceptional challenges require your unique skills. Together, we can build the future of data storage.
Job Description
Every hard drive we ship goes through rigorous validation. The tools behind that validation determine how fast we innovate and how reliably we deliver. You'll build the automation and internal applications that help engineers test, validate, and improve our products. Your code won't sit in a sandbox—it will directly support product quality and engineering efficiency.
What You'll Do
Automate validation testing – write Python/MATLAB scripts that replace manual workflows and speed up product testing cycles
Build internal engineering tools – develop web-based applications used daily by validation and product teams
Collaborate with validation engineers – translate their workflows into code that saves time and reduces errors
Improve lab efficiency – identify repetitive tasks and build tooling to eliminate them
Contribute to full-stack development – work on both backend automation and frontend interfaces
Support CI/CD pipelines – help integrate automated tests into continuous deployment workflows
Work with storage protocols – interact with SATA-based testing environments and validation systems
Participate in technical reviews – share ideas, improve processes, and learn from cross-functional teams
This position is part of our Early Career program at WD. Our Early Career program is designed to support individuals beginning their professional career by providing the foundational training through a structured onboarding, mentorship, and development curriculum.
