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.\nSome product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.\nWithin 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.\nWe 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.\nIf 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.\nJoin us and help build the future of enterprise technology.\nSenior Principal Mechanical Engineer (Rack Portfolio Development)\nMechanical Engineering leads and delivers the development of innovative and compliant mechanical design solutions. Our team conducts the analysis, feasibility studies and testing of mechanical products, instruments, subassemblies and packaging for new and existing products - and then oversees the introduction of design changes to the manufacturing organizations.\nWhat you’ll achieve:\nAs a Senior Principal Engineer, you will drive the strategy, alignment, and execution of critical rack ecosystem technologies that enable Dell's next-generation artificial intelligence, cloud, and high-performance computing platforms. Working across architecture, engineering, sourcing, and product leadership teams, you will guide complex development efforts, influence key technical decisions, and ensure the successful delivery of rack-level solutions from concept through production. Your leadership will help shape scalable, high-performance infrastructure that powers the future of accelerated computing and data center innovation.\nJoin us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Senior Principal Engineer on our Mechanical Engineering team in either Hopkinton, Massachusetts or Austin, Texas (relocation available).\n You Will\nDefine and drive the development strategy for key rack ecosystem technologies that power next-generation artificial intelligence, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure\nPartner with Definition Architects, Concept Architects, and engineering leaders to align architecture, component roadmaps, and investment priorities across the portfolio\nLead complex rack-level development initiatives, balancing technical risk, business priorities, resource planning, and execution across multiple organizations\nServe as the technical authority for critical Level 11 and Level 12 component development efforts, driving alignment, resolving dependencies, and accelerating decision-making\nInfluence engineering, sourcing, and supplier strategies to deliver scalable, resilient, and cost-effective solutions that meet performance, quality, and time-to-market objectives\nTake the first step towards your dream career\nEvery Dell Technologies team member brings something unique to the table.
