Senior Principal Rack Development Manager
Jabil
• Serve as the lead architect and development manager for complex rack-level solutions, owning system-level design decisions across mechanical, electrical, power, thermal, networking, and software integration domains. • Lead customer-facing technical engagements from RFI/RFQ all the way to first hardware delivery, including design reviews, trade-off discussions, and executive-level conversations. • Translate ambiguous or evolving customer requirements into clear program frameworks, ensuring alignment between customer expectations and engineering execution. • Demonstrate strong commercial awareness by effectively managing customer expectations, pushing back when requirements introduce risk or inefficiency, and confidently addressing challenging technical and cost-related questions. • Drive cross-functional alignment across all departments (executives, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and program) to ensure cohesive solution development with emphasis on Bill of Materials (BOM) management and scheduling. • Own rack-level architecture including power distribution design, thermal strategies (air and liquid cooling), cable routing, serviceability, and manufacturability. • Provide deep technical guidance on rack infrastructure including PDUs, busbars, liquid cooling systems (CDUs, manifolds, QDs), airflow design, and high-density compute integration. • Oversee architecture decisions impacting performance, cost, scalability, and deployment efficiency. • Drive program execution from concept through production, ensuring schedules are clearly defined, tracked, and met. • Apply strong program management discipline: define milestones, identify risks early, escalate issues proactively, and hold cross-functional teams accountable to commitments. • Drive readiness support calls internally from initial NPI scoping to prototyping to mass production, ensuring all systems are operable together from a power, thermal, and software standpoint. • Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to continuously refine designs based on deployment feedback and operational learnings. • Collaborate with compliance and certification teams to ensure mechanical designs meet global regulatory requirements (e.g., UL, CE, ISTA, ASTM). • Mentor and guide engineers across disciplines, establishing best practices in rack system architecture and integration. • Understanding of rack installation constraints, maintenance access, and serviceability in rack mechanical infrastructure. • Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical failures or field issues.
