Hardware Engineer

Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) builds the products that power infrastructure, solutions, and data management our customers need most. Our teams design and develop the hardware and software that connect infrastructure, accelerate computational workloads, integrate across the stack, protect data continuity, and deliver the platforms, applications, and diagnostics our customers rely on every day at enterprise scale. 

Some product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.

Within ISG, innovation isn't just about creating new technology- it's about challenging assumptions and reimagining how work gets done. Engineers define intent, author precise specifications, and orchestrate AI agents that execute at speed and scale. AI is embedded throughout our development process, helping us move faster, learn quicker, and deliver greater impact. Yet the most important contribution remains uniquely human: deciding what to build, designing how it should work, and applying the judgment needed to earn our customers' trust. When your products power critical infrastructure around the world, that responsibility matters.

We move quickly toward the work that matters most. We reward experimentation, encourage bold thinking, and remove unnecessary barriers so great ideas can become reality faster. Our teams embrace a customer-first, first-to-market mindset, transforming rapid feedback into better products and better outcomes. We aren't looking for people who are content with the status quo- we look for builders who question it, improve it, and occasionally rewrite it.

If you're energized by solving complex systems challenges, excited to work alongside AI to amplify your impact, and motivated by the opportunity to shape what's next instead of simply maintaining what's been done before, you'll find your place here.

Responsibilities

Join us as a Senior Principal Engineer – eCAD PCB Layout on our Core Hardware Electrical Engineering team in Round Rock, Texas to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.

What you’ll achieve

We are seeking a passionate and visionary Hardware Senior Principal Engineer to lead PCB layout and to define the eCAD design processes behind our electronic products. You will own our most complex, highest-speed board layouts in Cadence Allegro PCB Designer and System Capture, set the layout standards, workflows, and tooling the entire organization relies on, and lead the modernization of PCB layout and the broader hardware development flow through AI and agentic workflows.

This is a build-the-future role. Dell ISG is advancing PCB layout through a multi-stage automation framework — Library, Placement, Fan Out, Rules & Routing, Modem Readiness & Release — powered by leading industry design tools and bound together by Dell’s cutting-edge AI. You will be the technical leader who takes this the rest of the way, partnering with electrical, mechanical, signal and power integrity, thermal, and manufacturing engineering, and with suppliers from concept through production — turning layout from a serialized, manual craft into a connected, model-driven, continuously validated discipline.
