About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering with an emphasis on thermal science, fluid dynamics, or heat transfer, and seven years of related experience; an advanced degree may offset experience requirements.
Advanced working knowledge of heat transfer and the ability to analyze component- and system-level problems and apply advanced cooling technologies.
Advanced knowledge of thermal testing, flow and thermal measurement techniques, and the use of finite element analysis, computer-aided design, and computational fluid dynamics tools to optimize and guide thermal solutions.
Ability to optimize thermal solutions for operating environments, business needs, and product requirements.
Ability to collaborate with technology partners and suppliers on technology development, and to work with original design manufacturers on mechanical, thermal, and electrical aspects of system design.
Ability to understand competitive and business needs while developing technical solutions.
Knowledge of manufacturing processes and tolerance control requirements for high-volume production environments, and ability to author architecture specifications guiding future product development.
At least 15 years of related professional experience or equivalent experience.
Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder-influence skills.
Experience leading cross-functional investigations and presenting recommendations.
Proficiency with statistics, modeling, and laboratory systems, and adherence to safety and compliance requirements.
Ability to mentor others and elevate team practices.

Responsibilities

Develop and validate solution overviews across L10 and L11 with Engineering.
Propose bills of materials and stock-keeping units to meet technical requirements, review them with Engineering, and shape the offer accordingly.
Design liquid-cooling solutions spanning different geographical areas.
Design air, liquid, and other cooling solutions based on data-center and customer requirements.
Work with customers across L10 and L11, including US, EMEA, and APJ customers, to define data-center cooling facility requirements and incorporate them into designs.
Design experiments and test plans, and guide analysis and interpretation.
Advise on materials selection, architectures, and manufacturability trade-offs.
Partner with stakeholders on remediation plans and governance.
Develop best practices and templates that raise technical quality.

Desired Qualifications

Ability to interface effectively with suppliers to ensure they conduct research and provide information on products or services of value to the company, initiating and coordinating these efforts as needed on a continual basis.
Ability to present to peers, cross-functional teams, and director-level leadership.
Ability to travel.
A PhD or master's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field.
Record of publications, patents, or standards participation.

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.

Dell Technologies

Makes PCs, AI servers and data storage systems

Dell Technologies makes laptops, desktops, servers, data storage and networking equipment for businesses, governments, schools and consumers, and it builds many of the server racks inside large AI data centers. In 2016 it completed its $67 billion purchase of storage maker EMC, then the largest technology deal ever. One division sells PCs, monitors and Alienware gaming computers, while the other sells PowerEdge servers, storage arrays and networking gear to companies running their own data centers. Dell earns money from those hardware sales plus support, financing and subscription services. Michael Dell founded the company in 1984 from his University of Texas dorm room, and it is based in Round Rock, Texas.
