LOS ANGELES Gateway said it is eliminating several senior-level positions in the wake of its acquisition of PC maker eMachines, including that of its executive vice president of consumer marketing, T. Scott Edwards.

Edwards joined Gateway in January 2003 from Sony Electronics, where he was senior vice president in the brand and creative consumer communications group.
