Layout Designer​/Industrial Designer

At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting‑edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Responsible for planning, developing, and optimizing architectural layouts for semiconductor manufacturing tool installations within cleanroom environments. This role ensures efficient space utilization, compliance with facility standards, and seamless integration of tools, utilities, and support systems.

• Develop detailed layout designs for semiconductor equipment installations within fab and cleanroom environments
• Coordinate space planning, tool placement, and workflow optimization to maximize efficiency and throughput
• Collaborate with facilities, process, equipment, and construction teams to align layout designs with operational requirements
• Ensure compliance with cleanroom standards, safety regulations, and facility constraints (e.g., utilities, structural, and environmental)
• Produce and maintain layout drawings, 3D models, and installation documentation
• Support tool move‑in, installation planning, and ramp‑up activities
• Identify and resolve layout conflicts, including utility routing, clearance issues, and access requirements
• Contribute to continuous improvement of layout standards and best practices

Intermediate‑level designers are responsible for production speed, drawing and model input as directed by more senior designers and engineers. Back‑checking of your work to ensure a high level of accuracy is key. You are expected to listen to and follow direction, take notes, self‑motivate, be available and reliable, continue learning, and meet deadlines.

• Creates and modifies drawings and models via conversations, redlines and markups, to a high degree of accuracy.
• Actively participates in department and project meetings.
• Prepares deliverables for all phases of the project including models, plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and details to support design and architectural leads for meetings, proposals, and construction documents.
• Readily displays Revit and/or Navisworks models during meetings and performs model walk‑throughs as directed by more senior staff.
• Provides status updates on drawing and model inputs and estimates hours to complete given assignments.
• Coordinates designs and deliverables and resolves conflicts with/ between all disciplines and existing field conditions where required.
• Assists in field survey of existing conditions.
• Responds to design and coordination requests, conflict resolution requests, and information sharing requests in a timely manner.
• Identifies incomplete work or gaps in own work and addresses them prior to review.

• Deep knowledge of Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and other modeling and drafting programs necessary for the work.
• Proven track record of precise drawing and model input.
• Demonstrated ability to take verbal direction and move projects forward with minimal supervision.
• Solid understanding of how work affects schedule.
• Ability to determine the correct path forward by asking pertinent questions and seeking clarification.
• Active pursuit of knowledge in the focus subject area.
• Positive attitude and outlook.
• Working knowledge of drawing and model input.
• Ability to break assignments into required tasks, assign hours, and provide work estimates.
• Thorough understanding of drafting and modeling standards and requirements.

• Associate’s degree in Computer Drafting and Design, a similar course, or on‑the‑job experience.
• Experience in building systems mechanical design in semiconductor or related high‑tech facilities.

• Experience with 3D modeling and clash detection tools.
• Knowledge of semiconductor tool requirements and installation processes.
• Familiarity with safety and regulatory standards in high‑tech manufacturing.
