The Mechanical System and Component Architect at Intel will lead the mechanical architecture and design execution for next-generation server platforms. This role focuses on delivering robust mechanical designs for server chassis, liquid cooling systems, and loading mechanisms for LGA sockets. The ideal candidate will combine deep mechanical engineering fundamentals with system-level thinking and strong cross-functional leadership. This position is crucial for driving high-quality designs from concept through validation and production.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
• 6+ years of mechanical design experience in server, compute, or high-performance electronics hardware.
• 4+ years of experience in CREO 3D CAD Tool and creation of manufacturing-ready drawings/GD T.
• 4+ years of experience in tolerance analysis, material behavior, structural mechanics, and thermal-mechanical interactions.

• Own mechanical architecture for server platform hardware, ensuring subsystem and component designs align to product requirements, schedule, and cost targets.
• Lead mechanical design of server chassis structures, brackets, retention features, airflow interfaces, and serviceability elements.
• Define and deliver mechanical solutions for liquid cooling systems, including cold plates, manifolds, tubing/routing constraints, sealing interfaces, and assembly/service requirements.
• Architect and develop LGA socket loading mechanisms, including retention/load path strategies, tolerance stack-up control, and manufacturability considerations.
• Create and review 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, interface control documentation, and engineering change packages.
• Drive tolerance analysis, structural/thermal design tradeoffs, and reliability-focused design decisions.
• Partner with thermal, signal integrity, electrical, package, and manufacturing teams to optimize system-level performance and integration.
• Collaborate with suppliers/ODMs on DFM, tooling readiness, material/process selection, and qualification plans.
• Lead failure analysis and root-cause resolution for mechanical and integration issues discovered in build, validation, or field returns.

• Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
