## Description

Mechanical Principal 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 Principal Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility, you will interpret technology collateral to own complex 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.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Mechanical Principal Engineer-Data Center IT Feasibility on our Mechanical Engineering team in Round Rock, Texas or Hopkinton, Massachusetts. (relocation assistance available)

You will:

 * Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to develop innovative, customer-centric data center infrastructure and high-density rack solutions
 * Design and develop mechanical and thermal components for air and liquid-cooled systems, leveraging 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools to create sheet metal, plastic, die-cast, and complex assemblies
 * Design, develop, prototype, and evaluate new concepts for feasibility, performance, reliability, and manufacturability, utilizing engineering analysis tools such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) where appropriate
 * Interpret technical specifications and supplier documentation to support design decisions and optimize thermal, mechanical, and system-level performance
 * Collaborate with and influence technology partners, suppliers, manufacturing, quality, and tooling teams to create robust designs while improving scalability, serviceability, and cost efficiency
