Senior Mechanical Engineer

What Youll Do

On this team you will:

• Design and develop mechanical systems for high-performance servers with a focus on chassis enclosures heatsinks and rack integration.
• Create and review CAD models and drawings for mechanical components and assemblies.
• Collaborate with exceptional electrical thermal and systems engineers to develop cutting-edge AI/ML hardware.
• Conduct thermal and airflow analysis to optimize cooling performance and reliability.
• Work closely with power signal integrity and manufacturing engineers to ensure robust end-to-end server design.
• Conduct failure analysis debug mechanical and thermal issues documenting lessons learned and driving continuous improvement.
• Take designs from concept to mass production while ensuring design-for-manufacturability and cost-effectiveness.
• Collaborate with ODMs and suppliers to validate prototypes tooling and production builds.
• Actively participate in architectural discussions and provide insightful recommendations on server mechanical design.
• Mentor and grow junior mechanical engineers.

Who You Are:

• At least 5 years of mechanical engineering experience in server rack or data center hardware development.
• Strong CAD expertise (SolidWorks Creo or equivalent) including parametric modeling and drafting.
• Solid experience with sheet metal die casting extrusion and plastic part design.
• Demonstrated experience in thermal design (airflow heat sinks liquid cooling preferred).
• Strong background in tolerance analysis GD&T and design for assembly/manufacturability.
• Experience taking mechanical designs from concept through production including supplier engagement.
• Ability to collaborate across interdisciplinary teams (electrical thermal manufacturing system architects).
• Excellent problem-solving and debug skills for complex mechanical and thermal challenges.
• Strong documentation skills with the ability to clearly communicate design decisions and tradeoffs.
• Prior experience with structural and fluid simulations for mechanical and thermal performance validation.
• Strong understanding of high-volume engineering design and manufacturing practices.

Preferred:

• 10 years of mechanical engineering experience with a focus on server or hyperscale data center systems.
• Familiarity with GPU/AI server architectures and large-scale rack deployments.
• Experience working with ODM/JDM partners on mechanical designs.
• Strong understanding of industry standards in data center server mechanics (e.g. OCP EIA rack standards).
• Expertise in advanced thermal solutions (e.g. direct-to-chip liquid cooling cold plates).
• Experience with FEA/thermal simulation tools (ANSYS Icepak FloTherm or equivalent).
