Job description
from Dell Technologies careersInfrastructure 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 Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility on our Mechanical Engineering team in Round Rock, Texas (relocation assistance available).

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 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:
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support the development of innovative data center infrastructure and high-density rack solutions
- Use 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools such as Creo or SolidWorks to design and modify sheet metal, plastic, die-cast, and other mechanical components and assemblies for air- and liquid-cooled systems
- Perform component 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 internal stakeholders 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
- 2–3 years of experience in electro-mechanical product development or equivalent skill with exposure to air or liquid cooling technologies through coursework, internships, research, or industry
- Experience with 3D CAD software such as Creo or SolidWorks
- Exposure to mechanical design of sheet metal, plastic, die-cast, or electromechanical components
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, technical datasheets, and specifications
- Basic understanding of engineering analysis tools, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Preferred
- Degree in Mechanical or Thermal Engineering
- Experience with data center hardware, server systems, rack infrastructure, or thermal management solutions
Compensation
Dell is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The base salary range for this position is $88,800-$122,100
