Hardware Senior Principal Engineer

Electrical Engineer Power Systems (Hardware Senior Principal Engineer)Join us as a Electrical Engineer Power Systems on our Concept Engineering team in Hopkinton, MA or Round Rock, TX to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.Dell’s Concept Engineering organization is responsible for exploring the boundaries of next‑generation datacenter and AI server architectures. Our cross‑functional team develops early‑phase designs, proof‑of‑concept systems, and technology demonstrations that influence Dell’s long-term product strategy. We work at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and system architecture to define what comes next.What you’ll achieveWe are seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in high‑current and high‑voltage power distribution. If you have designed power distribution systems for demanding environments—such as electric vehicles, industrial power systems, high‑density compute platforms, or advanced energy storage—this role will leverage your deep expertise.You will architect and design high-current DC bus bars, power shelves, HV/LV distribution networks, and high‑power PCB assemblies that support the next generation of AI compute platforms and datacenter rack-level architectures. This is an early‑concept role: you will explore new technologies, build prototypes, evaluate new materials, and guide system‑level decisions long before products enter development.You will:- Lead the design, architecture, and analysis of high‑current, low‑voltage DC power‑distribution systems (1 kW–100 kW+) for AI server and rack‑scale platforms, including bus bars, high‑power PCPerform advanced simulations for current density, thermal behavior, electromagnetic/inductive/resistive effects, isolation/creepage/clearance, and EMI/EMC in high‑current applications- Collaborate cross‑functionally with mechanical, thermal, and architecture teams to deliver manufacturable, scalable designs and support rapid prototyping, bring‑up, and early validation- Document designs, drive trade studies, stay current on materials/connector technologies, and contribute
