Jabil is a trusted partner for the world's top brands, providing engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions. The Lead DFx Support Engineer is responsible for driving manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, and quality excellence across complex products, ensuring design intent translates into robust factory execution.

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
