Lead DFx Support Engineer - Data Center Infrastructure

Jabil is a leading global provider of engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions. They are seeking a Lead DFx Support Engineer to drive manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, and quality excellence across complex electrical and electromechanical products, providing authoritative Design for X leadership throughout various product phases.

Responsibilities:

• Provide senior‑level DFx guidance to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, assembly efficiency, service access, and long‑term quality
• Lead DFx evaluations during concept, design reviews and release readiness activities, identifying risks before product release
• Establish clear, actionable manufacturability requirements aligned to factory capabilities, takt time and quality objectives
• Drive cross program standardization and part rationalization initiatives to reduce variation, cost and supply chain risk
• Influence architectural and layout decisions to promote reuse of proven components, wiring practices and panel designs
• Champion robust design principles that minimize sensitivity to tolerance variation and assembly variability
• Lead tolerance stack-up analysis and assembly feasibility assessments in coordination with mechanical and manufacturing engineering
• Identify fit, clearance, and accessibility risks that could impact yield, serviceability or safety
• Recommend and validate design changes that improve assembly robustness and repeatability
• Serve as the senior technical conduit for manufacturing feedback, ensuring production learnings are systematically fed back into design standards
• Proactively reduce manufacturing driven ECRs/ECNs by resolving producibility concerns prior to design release
• Support root cause analysis of recurring manufacturing or quality issues and drive corrective and preventative design actions
• Partner with manufacturing engineering, quality, supply chain, and production leaders during prototype builds, pilot runs and production ramp ups
• Mentor junior engineers on DFx best practices and manufacturing aware design approaches
• Contribute to continuous improvement of enterprise DFx processes, guidelines and release criteria

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or related engineering discipline
• Typically 8+ years of experience in DFx, manufacturing focused design, production engineering, or related roles supporting industrial or infrastructure class equipment
• Proven ability to evaluate complex designs and influence design direction to improve manufacturability and quality
• Deep understanding of tolerance management, assembly processes and production system constraints
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead DFx efforts and influence cross functional teams without direct authority
• Experience supporting power and cooling equipment such as switchgear, PDCs, CDUs, transformers, chillers or similar mission critical infrastructure
• Hands-on experience in factory environments supporting prototype builds, NPI and high mix or low volume production
• Strong familiarity with electrical panel construction, wiring methods, labeling standards and industrial assembly practices
• Experience working within PLM systems and formal engineering change processes
• Track record of reducing manufacturing driven ECRs/ECNs and improving production yield or cycle time through design changes
