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 System Lead / Product Architecture Owner is a senior individual contributor responsible for technical ownership and architectural coherence across CDU, HVAC, chiller cooling systems, power distribution equipment, and related product platforms.\nThis role provides hands-on architectural leadership focused on creating scalable, maintainable, and configurable product structures that support long-term product evolution. The System Lead establishessystem architecture, design standards, modularization strategies, and variant logic while driving cross-functional alignment and technical execution across engineering disciplines.\nRather than managing people, this role serves as the primary technical authority for system-level decisions, architecture governance, design reviews, and execution of critical technical initiatives. The position ensures architectural intent is consistently translated into product designs, released configurations, and engineering deliverables while minimizing lifecycle complexity and design churn.\nKey Responsibilities\nSystem Architecture & Platform Strategy\nOwn the overall system architecture across cooling and power product platforms, ensuring coherence between mechanical, electrical, controls, and configuration structures.\n\nDefine and maintainmodular design strategies that enable product reuse, scalability, maintainability, and isolation of change across product families.\n\nArchitect system and model structures that anticipatefuture growth, option expansion, regional requirements, and evolving customer needs.\n\nEstablish architectural frameworks that reduce lifecycle complexity and eliminaterecurring design churn.\n\nContinuously evaluate platform health and identifyopportunities to improve scalability, reuse, and engineering efficiency.\n\nProduct Variants & Lifecycle Scalability\nDefine and govern product variant strategies supporting different capacities, ratings, redundancy schemes, and regional compliance requirements.\n\nEnsure variants are implemented through structured configuration logic rather than duplication, exceptions, or manual workarounds.\n\nEnable product family growth without destabilizing released designs or increasing operational complexity.\n\nDrive consistency between architectural intent, configuration structures, and releasedproduct definitions.\n\nCAD Standards & Design Frameworks\nEstablish and maintainCAD architecture standards, model structure requirements, interface rules, and engineering best practices.\n\nDefine templates, skeletons, references, and reusable design frameworks that support long-term maintainability and consistency.\n\nEnsure alignment between CAD architecture, PLM structures, configuration management processes, and release requirements.\n\nContinuously improve standards based on engineering feedback, recurring issues, and lifecycle lessons learned.\n\nTechnical Leadership & Design Authority\nServe as the primary technical authority during system-level and cross-functional design reviews.\n\nGuidetechnically sound decisions balancing performance, complexity, scalability, manufacturability, serviceability, and lifecycle impact.\n\nResolve conflicting requirements or ambiguous design directions by aligning decisions to architectural principles and long-term product objectives.\n\nAct as the escalation point for complex integration challenges and cross-domain technical issues.\n\nDrive technical decision-making, issue resolution, and action-item closure resulting from architecture reviews and critical engineering discussions.\n\nCross-Functional Alignment & Execution\nWork closely with ME CAD, EE CAD, controls, manufacturing, quality, service, and PLM/configuration teams to ensure architectural intent is properly implemented and maintained.\n\nDrive cross-functional execution across engineering disciplines by establishingpriorities, coordinating technical activities, and managing dependencies.\n\nIdentifyarchitectural risks, technical blockers, and organizational gaps that may impactproduct development, releases, or platform scalability.\n\nFacilitate resolution of technical issues and ensure timelyclosure of architecture-related action items.\n\nPartner with stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle to ensure architecture supports design, procurement, manufacturing, testing, deployment, and service objectives.\n\nInfluence execution through technical leadership, credibility, clear communication, and sound engineering judgment rather than formal managerial authority.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.\n\n10+ years of experience designing and architecting complex electromechanical systems.\n\nDemonstrated experience owning system architecture within multi-variant product environments.\n\nDeep understanding of modular design, product platforms, configuration logic, and lifecycle scalability.\n\nStrong understanding of CAD architectures, configuration management, and PLM-driven product development.\n\nDemonstrated experience leading cross-functional technical initiatives involving multiple engineering disciplines.\n\nProven ability to prioritize work, manage dependencies, drive execution, and achieve closure without direct supervisory authority.\n\nAbility to operateindependently as a senior technical authority across organizational boundaries.\n\nStrongly Preferred Experience\nArchitecture ownership for CDUs, chillers, HVAC systems, liquid cooling infrastructure, or power distribution equipment.\n\nExperience supporting product families with multiple capacities, redundancy schemes, regional requirements, and customer-specific variants.\n\nDeep familiarity with CAD, PLM, configuration management, and release processes.\n\nExperience driving technical execution within matrixed engineering organizations.\n\nExperience reducing organizational load and increasing engineering velocity through improved architecture and design practices.\n\nExperience supporting both NPI and sustaining engineering environments.\n\nCore Competencies\nSystem-level architectural thinking\n\nProduct platform strategy and modularization\n\nCross-functional execution leadership\n\nPrioritization and dependency management\n\nTechnical decision-making and risk management\n\nAction-oriented problem solving and issue resolution\n\nLifecycle engineering and configuration management\n\nAbility to prevent churn through foresight and structure\n\nClear technical communication across disciplines\n\nIndependent technical authority without people management responsibility\n\nThe pay range for this role is $132,400 - $238,400.
