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.
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 Senior 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 Senior Principal Engineer-Data Center IT Feasibility on our Mechanical Engineering team in Round Rock, Texas or Hopkinton, Massachusetts.
You will:
-
Partner with cross-functional engineering teams to develop innovative, customer-centric data center infrastructure and high-density rack solutions
