Responsibilities

• Lead the industrial engineering efforts for new large factor assembly and data center infrastructure facilities across the US, from conceptual design through to full operationalization.
• Develop and implement optimal facility layouts, material flow strategies, workstation designs, and production line balancing to maximize throughput and minimize waste.
• Conduct detailed process analysis, time studies, and value stream mapping to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement in new facility designs.
• Utilize advanced simulation tools and industrial engineering methodologies to model, analyze, and predict the performance of proposed facility designs and operational processes.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including design engineering, manufacturing operations, supply chain, IT, and construction to ensure seamless integration and alignment of industrial engineering principles.
• Define and implement key performance indicators (KPIs) for new facilities, establishing baseline metrics and driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Develop and maintain industrial engineering standards, best practices, and playbooks for new facility deployments.
• Evaluate and recommend new technologies, automation solutions, and manufacturing equipment to enhance operational efficiency and future-proof facility designs.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior industrial engineers and project teams.
• Prepare detailed reports, presentations, and documentation outlining facility designs, process flows, cost analyses, and projected operational benefits.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in industrial engineering roles, with significant experience in greenfield or brownfield facility design and implementation for large-scale manufacturing or data center operations.
• Proven expertise in facility layout optimization, material handling systems design, process flow analysis, and capacity planning.
• Strong proficiency in industrial engineering tools and software (e.g., AutoCAD, simulation software like Arena/FlexSim, process mapping tools).
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
• Experience with lean manufacturing principles, Six Sigma methodologies, and continuous improvement frameworks.
• Understanding of data center infrastructure requirements, including power, cooling, network, and security, is highly desirable.
• Ability to travel domestically as required for site visits, project meetings, and facility commissioning.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) for layout and system design.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
• Ability to travel frequently within the assigned region to support various Jabil sites (up to 75%). When not traveling, work location is required on-site at the home-site location.

Preferred

• PMP certification or similar project management qualification is a plus.
• Understanding of data center infrastructure requirements, including power, cooling, network, and security, is highly desirable.
