Dell to Expand Central Texas Engineering Employment by 500

Dell plans to hire an additional 500 engineers to work in its Central Texas product development operations as part of its dedication to providing customers the broadest and best product and services portfolio available, the company announced today. Dell will begin hiring immediately.

“This year Dell will have the most technically advanced product line in our company’s history,” said Chairman Michael Dell. “The additional development expertise we’re announcing today for our Austin Design Center reflects our concept of Dell 2.0, an initiative to revitalize every part of our business with engineering excellence at its core. No other company in our industry has a greater commitment to innovation in computing,” Mr. Dell said.

Speaking at a news conference with Gov. Rick Perry at the Texas Capitol, Mr. Dell said the infusion of engineering talent to the company’s Texas development team – already Dell’s largest – will benefit customers from the datacenter to the living room. “Our engineering teams play a key role in building products and services that set the standard for our industry,” Mr. Dell said.

“We’re all moving toward a global, technology-based economy, and thanks to Dell and its undeniable leadership in expanding access to information technology around the world, Texas is at the forefront of that movement,” said Gov. Perry. “By deepening its engineering and employment roots in Central Texas, Dell continues to do the state proud.”
