Mechanical Principal Engineer-Data Center IT Rack Feasibility

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.

RESPONSIBILITIES
