Human Resources Intern

Company Description

WD is building the infrastructure behind the AI-driven data economy.

As AI scales, so does data. Every interaction, every model, every system generates data that must be stored, managed, and made accessible over time. That’s where we come in.

We combine deep engineering expertise with global-scale manufacturing to deliver the storage systems that make AI possible, powering hyperscale data centers, cloud platforms, and enterprise infrastructure worldwide.

This isn’t theoretical work. It’s real systems, at real scale, people solving some of the hardest challenges in technology today.

We’re looking for people who want to build, solve, and operate at that level.

Join us and let’s shape the future of data.

Job Description

Launch Your HR Career at WD 

Ready to make an impact with a company that’s building the future of data? At WD, our people are the heart of our innovation—and our Human Resources team plays a key role in helping every employee thrive. As a Summer 2027 HR Intern, you’ll join a cohort of passionate students, partner with experienced HR professionals, and take on work that truly matters. This is your chance to grow, challenge yourself, and experience what a meaningful career in HR looks like inside a global tech company. 

What You’ll Experience 

You’ll own a real project within one of WD’s specialized HR teams—such as Talent Acquisition, People Intelligence & Analytics, Compensation & Benefits, Organizational Development, and more. We’ll match you to a team based on your strengths, interests, and business needs. 

Throughout the summer, you’ll participate in a structured learning curriculum designed to build core early‑career and HR‑related skills. You’ll get hands-on experience with modern HR tools and analytics, collaborate with teams across the HR function, learn directly from HR leaders, and wrap up the program by presenting your capstone project to WD leadership. You’ll leave with real-world experience, new connections, and clarity about where your HR career could go. 

Who You Are 

You’re curious, collaborative, and excited to dive into the people side of business. You enjoy solving problems, asking great questions, and working with data to understand what’s really going on. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships, and jump into new challenges with enthusiasm. You take initiative, manage your time well, and love learning in environments where you can grow quickly. Experience with HR systems is a bonus—not a requirement. 

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.
