What will you do? -   

System Architects at Jabil collaborate with customers, sales, and product planning to establish the technical direction for Jabil design teams in the Cloud and Compute markets. 

As a Mechanical System Architect, you will be expected to: 

• Demonstrate a level of expertise in System Architecture that matches or exceeds the expertise of customers. 

• Assess and/or generate technical requirements across Cloud and Networking hardware. 

• Work closely with thermal and liquid cooling engineers to enable cooling solutions at a system and rack level. 

• Develop mechanical concepts and CAD in support of System Architectures 

• Monitor the technical direction of designs during product development,  

• Mentor others in the organization to build team members design capability

In this role you will: 

• Advise on and discuss technology tradeoffs with customers, product planning and business development. 

• Establish technical direction for customer originated projects and Jabil's own cloud compute product offerings. Technical direction includes: 

• Alignment to product requirements documents' Architectural tradeoffs on cost, complexity, and schedule

• System layout, mechanical feasibility; Leveraging strategy and risk planning

• Collaborate with fellow system architects in the electrical, thermal, firmware and software domains

• Communicate technical direction to Jabil development teams through Jabil handoff documentation

• Stay current on vendor technology capabilities in spaces such as CPUs, GPUs, Storage, Memory, FPGAs, board materials, regulators, power supplies etc. 

• Remain ready to architect to the latest industry trends including areas such as Open Compute (OCP) and Nvidia MGX. 

• Deep dive into new open-ended areas requiring experienced engineering; Contribute to the improvement of our architecture methods and processes 

• Train, mentor, and coach new engineers; Ability to travel if required, up to 15% internationally
