Lead Electrical Cad Engineer

At Jabil, we are proud to be a trusted partner for the world's top brands, offering comprehensive engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions. With 60 years of experience across industries and a vast network of over 100 sites worldwide, Jabil combines global reach with local expertise to deliver both scalable and customized solutions. Our commitment extends beyond business success as we strive to build sustainable processes that minimize environmental impact and foster vibrant and diverse communities around the globe.

The Lead Electrical Cad Engineer is a hands-on individual contributor responsible for the development, release and sustainment of electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring and power distribution designs for mission critical power and cooling products. This role owns electrical design integrity across concept, npi, production and sustaining phases, ensuring compliance with applicable safety standards, regional regulations and customer requirements.

The position requires deep expertise in electrical cad tools, strong understanding of industrial power and control systems, and close coordination with mechanical and plm teams to maintain alignment between electrical designs, physical layouts and released product configurations; while supporting rapid, disciplined engineering change execution.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Independently develop and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring designs for complex industrial systems using eplan, autocad electrical, solidworks electrical and/or edge electrical.
  • Design and document power distribution, protection, grounding, and control circuits supporting power distribution and cooling platforms.
  • Ensure electrical designs meet functional performance, safety, reliability and serviceability requirements across operating conditions.
  • Resolve electrical packaging and integration challenges in coordination with mechanical layouts, thermal constraints and enclosure architectures.
  • Execute configuration controlled electrical designs supporting multiple product variants, options and regional variations.
  • Maintain stability and traceability of electrical designs as engineering changes are introduced.
  • Implement engineering changes (ecr/ecns) efficiently while preserving compliance, backward compatibility and production continuity.
  • Ensure accurate synchronization between schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, boms and plm system records throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Design electrical systems that are compliant with applicable ie, ul and regional standards, as well as customer specific specifications.
  • Apply sound engineering judgment to ensure electrical safety, fault protection, arc mitigation, grounding and clearance/creepage requirements.
  • Support internal and external compliance activities by providing accurate documentation and responding to design related findings.
  • Develop detailed panel layouts including component placement, wire routing and labeling aligned with mechanical constraints and thermal considerations.
  • Ensure wiring designs are manufacturable, accessible and service-friendly, with clear documentation for production.
  • Support prototype builds, production ramp up and manufacturing issue resolution through direct design updates and clarifications.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering to ensure electrical mechanical fit, clearance, airflow and thermal compatibility.
  • Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and production teams to address build issues, component substitutions and all feedback.
  • Participate in technical design reviews and release readiness activities as a senior technical contributor.
  • Contribute through execution to the continuous improvement of electrical cad practices, documentation clarity and configuration discipline.

Required qualifications include:

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related engineering discipline.
  • 8+ years of hands-on electrical cad design experience with industrial or infrastructure class equipment.
  • Strong proficiency in eplan, autocad electrical, solidworks electrical and/or edge electrical.
  • Demonstrated experience designing power distribution and control systems for complex, multi-variant products.
  • Working knowledge of ie, ul, and regional electrical compliance requirements.
  • Ability to independently execute and own complex electrical designs with minimal oversight.

Preferred experience includes:

  • Electrical design experience for power and cooling systems, switch gear, transformers, busway, pdcs, cdus, chillers, or thermally intensive infrastructure.
  • Experience with switch gear, control panels and industrial power systems.
  • Proven background in panel layout, wire routing and electrical mechanical integration.
  • Familiarity with plm systems and formal product release and change control processes.
  • Experience supporting both npi and sustaining engineering in production environments.

Core competencies include:

  • Senior level, hands on electrical cad execution
  • Strong…
