ME Architect

Job Summary
As a Server ME Architect, you will drive innovation and lead the mechanical architecture design during the concept phase of server and storage platforms. In this role, your primary focus will be on developing innovative mechanical engineering concepts that support new business opportunities (RFQ, RFI activities). You will collaborate closely with the Taiwan-based Architecture team and US counterparts (e.g., CTO, BU, Marketing) to shape the technical direction and strategy for potential new business.

Key Responsibilities

• Define system-level mechanical architecture based on PRD, ensuring feasibility for execution teams during subsequent phases.
• Lead system-level mechanical architecture design during pre-concept and concept phases.
• Perform feasibility studies, material cost analyses, and PoC evaluations to support decision-making.
• Collaborate with architects, BU, and supply chain partners to integrate new technologies into roadmaps.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (thermal, power, and system architects) to optimize mechanical solutions and ensure technical alignment during the concept phase.
• Define high-level mechanical requirements and support the hardening of abstract specifications.
• Prepare comprehensive mechanical proposals during POC/RFI/RFQ phases.
• Lead early-stage ME design work tailored to customer traits and needs, ensuring high-level requirements are addressed.
• Develop guidelines, playbooks, and lessons learned to improve front-end activities and enhance efficiency.

Desired Traits & Skills:

• Self-Driven: Able to independently drive tasks and learn new technologies.
• Creative Problem Solving: Assess alternative paths in design and architecture, recommending the most efficient solutions.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving: Deep-dive into technical issues with excellent problem-solving abilities.
• Engagement & Innovation: Engage with technology partners to lead Proof of Concept and stay on top of technology trends for competitive advantage.
• Leadership & Communication: Effectively communicate product architectures and negotiate options with key stakeholders. Ability to lead cross-functional teams to deliver optimal results.
• Teamwork: Must have a strong working spirit and be able to work well in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
• Broad Knowledge Base: Deep understanding of design specifications within the server domain, with experience in overall architecture for products and solutions.
• NRE Estimation: Capable of providing high-level NRE estimates and timelines for projects.
• Abstract Requirements: Comfortable working with abstract requirements and capable of hardening them into actionable plans

Education & Experience Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields; advanced degree preferred.
• Minimum 15 years of mechanical architecture experience, preferably in servers or data centers.
• Expertise in mechanical design tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) and industry standards (e.g., OCP, EIA).
• Excellent communication skills; fluency in English is required
