About The Position

From applied research to advanced engineering, the Engineering Technologist team has the expertise to shape ground-breaking products, material and processes. It’s a fascinating field of work. We’re involved in assessing the competition, developing technology and product strategies and generating intellectual property. We lead technology investigations, analyze industry capabilities and recommend potential acquisitions or vendor partner opportunities. Our insights influence product architecture and definitions. And we work with colleagues across the business to ensure our products always lead the way.

Join us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Principal Engineering Technologist (Mechanical Architect for PC Notebooks) on our Engineering Technologist Team in Austin, Texas.

What you’ll achieve
As a Principal Engineering Technologist, you’ll have the opportunity to establish mechanical requirements for product, engineer the product to meet those requirements and validate that the product meets those requirements. This involves working with internal development teams and external suppliers and development partners to develop innovative mechanical solutions for PCs, particularly notebooks, using leading-edge engineering software, tools and processes. Additional responsibilities include ensuring the products meet design targets in areas such as quality, feature set, cost, schedule, reliability, acoustics, regulatory and safety. The mechanical architect will be responsible for mechanical architecture, component and system-level specifications, creating and directing CAD models, interpreting test data, and status reporting for assigned team projects. You’ll also be responsible for driving others, including external suppliers and development partners, to deliver robust mechanical solutions.

You will:
Produce high-fidelity experimental datasets and prototypes
Translate research inputs into clear findings suitable for decision making
Maintain protocols and templates; run quality control (QC) on data integrity and reproducibility
Coordinate with product teams to plan experiments and resolve ambiguities early

Requirements

• 8+ years of related experience in a professional role or equivalent experience.
