Seagate Research is hiring!
The list below includes multiple full-time positions at the Research center for the storage systems research group working in two major project areas:
Project - Scalable Storage - enable the deployment of massive collections of disk drives to support petabyte-scale archives and clusters. Systems with 1,000 or even 10,000 individual disk drives (1-10 PB total capacity) are no longer the domain of supercomputing, but are becoming commonplace in the commercial world. Rather than deleting data, corporations are realizing the value of large-scale, long-term data archiving in helping them tackle engineering issues, make sense of customer information, uncover historical trends, or just manage all the information that a modern group of knowledge workers requires and produces. Key technical issues for such systems include reliability, performance, security, metadata and adaptive management.
Project - Seamless Movement of Digital Data - understand the underlying technical issues in the communication among consumer devices to exchange and synchronize stored data. The goal of this project is to improve how today's media-rich devices talk to each other - e.g., digital cameras, camcorders, TVs, PVRs and PDAs - and to identify the technical barriers to seamless interoperability among all the gadgets that play a central role in managing people's data. Why does it seem so difficult to do? Can existing technology for disconnected operation, distributed systems or peer-to-peer neatly address the issues? Skills desired include a knowledge of networking, file systems, operating systems, peer-to-peer computing, or multimedia.
