Join Dell's AI Centric Engineering (ACE) team within the Office of the CTO, helping explore and shape the future of AI-driven technology. 

This role is designed for early-career engineers with exceptional growth potential who want to rapidly develop into strong technical leaders. You will work directly with a Senior Distinguished Engineer (SDE) on high-impact strategic initiatives spanning emerging technologies, enterprise architecture, and industry collaboration. A key part of this role is the heavy practical use of AI tools and workflows, with the goal of developing into a highly effective practitioner of AI-assisted engineering through mentorship and hands-on work on challenging projects.

What you'll achieve: 

As part of the ACE SDE team, you will gain hands-on experience with strategic technical work at the intersection of emerging AI, enterprise architecture, and industry collaboration. Through direct mentorship and challenging projects, this role provides the opportunity to build the judgment, technical range, and AI-assisted ways of working needed to take on greater technical responsibility in complex enterprise environments.
