Job Title: Sr. Mechanical Architect Location: Remote within the United States Pay Range: $200000 - $225000 ( Bonus opportunities available)

What's the Job?

Define mechanical architecture for next-generation server, storage, networking, HPC, accelerator, and AI platforms that support enterprise and hyperscale data-center requirements. Evaluate current and emerging mechanical and thermal design trends within enterprise and hyperscale data centers to improve performance, reliability, and scalability. Architect new mechanical chassis, enclosures, and subassemblies for future product platforms, translating concepts into build-ready designs. Develop detailed mechanical and thermal design requirements and specifications, including modeling and evaluation of thermal characteristics for new platform designs. Lead mechanical architecture from initial concept through validation and production, creating technical specifications and design requirements for external suppliers and supporting design reviews, testing, and issue resolution.
