About our group:

We are seeking a Sr. Staff Technical Marketing Analyst with deep hard disk drive (HDD) technology and manufacturing expertise to support the Technical Marketing organization. This role requires a first-principles understanding of HDD architecture, physics, component functions, and system-level behavior, combined with strong analytical, modeling, and communication skills.

The position operates at the intersection of HDD technology development, manufacturing operations, product strategy, finance, and commercial teams. The successful candidate will translate technology choices, manufacturing realities, and cost structures into clear, defensible insights that inform product roadmaps, competitive positioning, pricing analysis and investment decisions.

This role is expected to bring unique technical insight that materially strengthens business, pricing, marketing, competitive, and portfolio analysis, particularly at senior and executive decision levels.

About the role - you will:

HDD Technology & Manufacturing Modeling

• Develop and maintain quantitative models grounded in HDD architecture, physics, component behavior, and system-level interactions.
• Ensure models reflect cost estimates, sourcing implications, technology constraints, engineering tolerances, and manufacturing flows from sourced components to final assembly and shipment.
• Create forecasts including nominal expectations, sensitivities, and scenario analysis tied to real HDD market, customer, design, and factory assumptions.
• Provide insight into how technology choices affect factory throughput, scrap, bottlenecks, test coverage, and long-term cost efficiency.

Cost Structure & Competitive Analysis

• Build bottom-up HDD cost models with component-level detail across mechanical, magnetic, electronic, and production elements.
• Coordinate competitive cost teardown, cost modeling and scenario analysis as a core responsibility.
• Interpret industry HDD technology differences and articulate resulting cost, performance, sourcing, and market advantages.

Business & Strategy Partnership

• Partner with business pricing teams, and portfolio owners to provide technical insight that enhances business and competitive analysis.
• Translate analytical outputs into actionable inputs for roadmaps, pricing strategy, warranty, and customer discussions.

Cross-Functional Technical Influence

• Drive data-backed discussions with engineering, operations, manufacturing, and technology strategy
