Technical Staff, Engineering Technologist

About the role

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.

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.

The Engineering Technologist team leads technology investigations, analyzes industry capabilities, and recommends potential acquisitions or vendor partner opportunities. Our insights influence product architecture and definitions, ensuring our products always lead the way.

This role is based in Round Rock, Texas or Santa Clara, California.
