Mechanical Senior Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility

Job description

Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) builds the products that power infrastructure, solutions, and data management our customers need most. Our teams design and develop the hardware and software that connect infrastructure, accelerate computational workloads, integrate across the stack, protect data continuity, and deliver the platforms, applications, and diagnostics our customers rely on every day at enterprise scale. 

Some product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.

Within ISG, innovation isn't just about creating new technology- it's about challenging assumptions and reimagining how work gets done. Engineers define intent, author precise specifications, and orchestrate AI agents that execute at speed and scale. AI is embedded throughout our development process, helping us move faster, learn quicker, and deliver greater impact. Yet the most important contribution remains uniquely human: deciding what to build, designing how it should work, and applying the judgment needed to earn our customers' trust. When your products power critical infrastructure around the world, that responsibility matters.

We move quickly toward the work that matters most. We reward experimentation, encourage bold thinking, and remove unnecessary barriers so great ideas can become reality faster. Our teams embrace a customer-first, first-to-market mindset, transforming rapid feedback into better products and better outcomes. We aren't looking for people who are content with the status quo- we look for builders who question it, improve it, and occasionally rewrite it.

If you're energized by solving complex systems challenges, excited to work alongside AI to amplify your impact, and motivated by the opportunity to shape what's next instead of simply maintaining what's been done before, you'll find your place here.

Join us and help build the future of enterprise technology  as a Mechanical Senior Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility on our Mechanical Engineering team in Round Rock, Texas (relocation assistance available). 

Mechanical Senior Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility 

Mechanical Engineering leads and delivers the development of innovative and compliant mechanical design solutions. Our team conducts feasibility studies and preliminary testing of mechanical products, instruments, and subassemblies for new products and technologies, interlocking with cross-functional downstream stakeholders. 

What you’ll achieve: 

As a Mechanical Senior Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility, you will interpret technology collateral to create mechanical designs, conduct selective detailed analyses, and prepare test plans to validate function, reliability, and compliance. You will coordinate with downstream stakeholders to support product requirements during early feasibility investigations.

You will:

• Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to develop innovative data center infrastructure and high-density rack solutions that meet customer, performance, and reliability requirements
• Design and develop mechanical and thermal components for air- and liquid-cooled systems using 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools such as Creo or SolidWorks, including sheet metal, plastic, die-cast, and electromechanical assemblies
• Lead component and subsystem design activities, including concept development, prototyping, testing, and design validation to ensure performance and manufacturability goals are achieved
• Apply engineering analyses and simulation tools, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and interpret technical specifications, test data, and supplier documentation to drive informed design decisions
• Collaborate with technology partners, suppliers, manufacturing, quality, and tooling teams to create robust designs

Take the first step towards your dream career 

Every Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table. Here’s what we are looking for with this role: 

Essential Requirements
