What you will do: As a member of the Hardware Engineering Mechanical/Thermal/Robotics (MTR) Engineering team you’ll be responsible for the design of our server platforms. You’ll provide leadership in the application of new cooling and mechanical technologies to large scale server deployments in a continuous effort to deliver a world-class customer experience. This is a fast-paced, challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. You’ll need to understand when a change in technology enables a completely different way of approaching server design. We’re changing an industry, and we want team members who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.You will demonstrate a working knowledge of mechanical and thermal systems, with experience in systems integration of complex server products. You’ll have the desire to learn from new challenges and the problem solving and communication skills to work within a highly interactive and experienced team. Candidates must show a hands-on passion for their work and be able to communicate their ideas and concepts both verbally, and visually. Candidates must demonstrate an ability to integrate feedback and to respond quickly to changing contexts and work environments.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will:
* Perform mechanical and thermal design and development for complex electronic systems
* Design and validate systems and subsystems to meet program objectives
* Participate in the cross-discipline design process working with other HW and SW team members to develop optimized integrated solutions
* Conduct failure analysis and solution validation for product development and fleet systems
* Manage interaction with overseas resources
* Provide mentorship and technical reviews to a team of mechanical/thermal design engineersA day in the life
The average week is a mixture of using engineering tools (CAD and thermal simulation), data analysis, meetings (internal and vendors), test report reviews, design reviews, and communicating via tickets or emails to make design and project decisions.

- 7+ years experience in server technologies such as, thermal, mechanical, power, and signal integrity
