[Hiring] Principal Structural Engineer @Jabil

Role Description

The Structural Engineer is a core member of the Facility Enablement team, responsible for the structural integrity of both the data center products we build and the manufacturing facilities used to produce them. This role spans the full product lifecycle, from early stage design through factory integration, deployment, and field installation, with a focus on scalable, repeatable, and manufacturable structural solutions aligned with hyperscale delivery models.

• Evaluate structural solutions through the lens of technical risk, cost efficiency, and schedule.
• Lead gravity, wind, seismic, and vibration analysis for modules, frames, racks, and support structures.
• Analyze and provide structural recommendations for MDCs, equipment skids, enclosures, and factory-built assemblies.
• Validate structural solutions for HAC systems across overhead, rack-integrated, and floor-supported configurations.
• Develop seismic bracing and restraint strategies for MEP systems, cable trays, pipe racks, and modular assemblies.
• Engineer foundations, steel frames, and anchorage solutions for chillers, generators, UPS systems, pumps, heat exchangers, and fluid distribution equipment.
• Define structural strategies for thermal loads, vibration-sensitive equipment, and deflection-managed assemblies.
• Develop and maintain DFMEA documentation to identify structural risks and drive mitigation across product families.
• Optimize recurring product families for weight, manufacturability, cost, and platform scalability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Structural Engineering or Civil Engineering (structural emphasis) required.
• 8+ years of progressive structural engineering experience, including leadership of complex structural systems in high-availability industrial or mission-critical facilities.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
• Proven experience producing stamped engineering packages, reviewing vendor calculations, and managing AHJ coordination.
• Experience with modular construction, prefabricated data center infrastructure, or factory-built assemblies strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with hyperscale or colocation data center programs and platform-based delivery models is a significant plus.

Requirements

• Proficiency with structural analysis software — SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD, RISA, RAM, or similar.
• Working knowledge of IBC, ASCE 7, AISC, ACI, and applicable seismic and non-structural anchorage standards.
• Ability to produce and interpret stamped engineering calculations, shop drawings, and fabrication details across steel, concrete, and connection design.
• Familiarity with fatigue, vibration, and dynamic loading analysis in environments with rotating or sensitive equipment.
• Experience with CAD, PDM, and PLM tools — SolidWorks, Revit, Windchill, Teamcenter, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with BIM coordination workflows, clash detection tools (e.g., Navisworks), and LOD standards is a plus.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Paid time off accruing at a rate of 3.07 hours during your first year of employment.
• 4 weeks of paid parental leave.
• 11 company-paid holidays (9 fixed holidays and 2 optional floating holidays) in 2027, subject to change yearly.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Employee stock purchase plan.
