About The Position

Oracle is hiring a Senior Manager, Mechanical Engineering to lead a team developing reliable, cost-effective mechanical products and systems. The role guides technical decisions, oversees design reviews, manages project priorities and resources, and collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and other teams. The manager contributes to mechanical design strategy and ensures projects align with timelines, quality standards, design goals, scope, and budget. The position guides mechanical architecture and product development from feasibility through production, including thermal cooling strategies, electronic components and enclosures, embedded systems, and packaging. It uses CAD tools such as ProE and SolidWorks to review models and detailed designs. The role evaluates stress, strain, FEA, and thermal analysis; directs reliability work; and leads efforts to identify and address potential failures. The manager establishes design and manufacturing guidelines, supports prototype-to-production transitions with operations and manufacturers, and oversees testing and quality activities. Responsibilities also include reviewing next-generation technologies, integrating new materials and processes, collaborating with suppliers, and communicating project decisions and status to stakeholders. As needed, the role may lead mechanical standards and coordinate environmental testing and certification across product lines. Candidates should have a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field, substantial mechanical product or systems design experience, and experience leading engineering teams and projects. Oracle lists a U.S. hiring range of $133,700 to $306,400 per year; the role may also be eligible for bonus, equity, and compensation deferral. Oracle describes a benefits package that includes health coverage, disability and life insurance, retirement savings, paid time off and holidays, parental leave, adoption assistance, and other benefits.

Record of delivering engineering projects against scope, schedule, and budget commitments; experience with resource planning and project tracking.
Experience leading development across engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and product management.
Success resolving complex design or production issues using structured methods such as 8D or fault-tree analysis.
Experience defining test plans, reviewing validation results, conducting DFMEA, and applying relevant industry standards.
Experience managing engineering budgets, estimating development costs, and delivering measurable product or manufacturing cost reductions.
Ability to write clear technical documentation, present to senior leadership, and communicate effectively with customers and suppliers.

Responsibilities

Lead a team in developing reliable, cost-effective mechanical products and systems; guide technical decisions and develop team members.
Guide design and development of components, board layouts and planning, mechanical systems, equipment, and packaging to meet reliability, performance, and manufacturability standards.
Set thermal cooling strategies and coordinate mechanical architecture from feasibility studies through production.
Use CAD tools, including ProE and SolidWorks, to guide and review 3D models and detailed mechanical designs.
Influence mechanical design of electronics enclosures and embedded systems to align with hardware systems and design requirements.
Identify the need for thermal analysis, direct resources to conduct it, and use results to guide design optimization.
Evaluate stress, strain, and FEA results to assess mechanical strength and reliability and identify design challenges.
Identify potential failure points and direct root-cause and corrective-action analysis to improve designs and reliability.
Establish design guidelines for manufacturability, cost, and production constraints, working with operations and external manufacturers on prototype-to-production transitions.
Oversee design development, project timelines, and cross-team efforts to optimize manufacturing processes.
Guide reliability assessments of materials and designs and ensure products meet company standards.
Drive functional and performance goals for prototype builds and testing; identify improvements and mentor the team in analyzing test data for defects and failure trends.
Lead reviews of next-generation technologies for data center and cloud application performance, and drive integration of new materials, processes, and design techniques.
Collaborate with electrical and component engineers, operations, internal stakeholders, suppliers, and manufacturing to improve performance, reliability, manufacturability, quality, and cost.
Contribute to long-term mechanical engineering project strategy; establish processes from concept through production and coordinate resources, timelines, and design reviews.
Review design documentation for completeness and alignment with best practices; communicate with stakeholders and maintain alignment with project objectives and schedules.
As needed, lead the mechanical standards team, set standards strategy, and coordinate environmental testing and certification across product lines.
As needed, work with senior leadership and cross-functional teams on regulatory standards strategies while balancing business objectives and product timelines.
