Role summary

Dell Technologies is seeking an Electrical Senior Principal Engineer for their Networking Hardware Engineering team in Santa Clara, CA. This role involves leading and managing electrical design and development activities for networking switch products, from development to sustain phase. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and partners to ensure designs meet requirements for schedule, features, cost, quality, reliability, and compliance. Responsibilities include designing and evaluating electronic components and integrated circuitry, ensuring integration with other product functions, and reviewing vendor capabilities. The role requires extensive experience in Intel/AMD CPU design, Broadcom ASIC hardware development, and high-speed networking products, along with advanced knowledge of analog and digital circuit theory and principles.

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.
