Seagate Technology – AI Development Intern

About our group:

Firmware Development Engineering – Enterprise SIE Test Development Team is located in Seagate Singapore Design Centre at One-North. The team design, develop and maintain test software in C/C++/Python under Linux/Windows for validating the firmware features in Seagate’s leading-edge Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD). Before a new firmware can be populated to tens and thousands of HDD/SSD in the production, it needs to pass the system integration test verification and validation. We develop and maintain the test software suite in C/C++/Python, as well as software toolkits in Python/Bash. We also develop Linux open-source device driver and customize the installation modules for Seagate internal users. We need to study various features specifications and industry standards of HDD/SSD, including SATA/SAS/NVMe/PCIe, design or enhance the test scenarios, write unit tests to debug the software and firmware, conduct various experiments and failure analysis, and review the solutions with other developers locally or in US. The work in the team is critical to the firmware quality of HDD/SSD.  

About the role - you will:

We are seeking a motivated and talented intern to join our team at Seagate Singapore. The intern will work on an exciting project to develop an AI system capable of answering complex queries related to our firmware (FW) and test suite. This project involves leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI technologies to enhance our testing processes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop an AI system applying the right Large Language Model (e.g GPT-NeoX, GPT-J, or LLaMA) to:
  • Identify FW features covered by a given test name.
  • Shortlist relevant tests based on specified FW features.
  • Recommend relevant tests based on changes in FW C files, functions, or modules.
• Integrate the AI system with Seagate’s internal tools and platforms (Perforce, SharePoint, SeaOtters server).
• Ensure the AI system adheres to Seagate’s confidentiality and data security policies.
• Collaborate with software engineers and other team members to refine and improve the AI system.
• Document the development process and provide regular updates to the project supervisor.

About you:

• Currently enrolled in a Computer Science, Software Engineering
• Strong programming skills in Python, C, or similar languages.
• Basic understanding of AI and machine learning concepts, particularly LLMs.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Perforce) and documentation tools (e.g., SharePoint).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Your experience includes:

• Experience with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Previous internship or project experience in AI/ML.
