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.

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership and oversight on some of the most advanced industrial facilities in the world. Join us and you will have the chance to work on semiconductor manufacturing projects and other state-of-the-art industrial facilities. Ideal candidate will be located in Tempe, Arizona but there is geographic flexibility for well-qualified candidates located near a Jacobs US office.

In this role, you will serve as an expert within your discipline, applying specialized depth of knowledge to solve complex problems and deliver innovative solutions.

This position requires a broad perspective and the ability to recommend best practices, improve processes, and lead functional teams. You will work independently, with guidance only in the most complex situations, and serve as a trusted resource for quality and innovation. If you are ready to take ownership of high-impact projects and influence the future of electrical engineering design, we want you on our team.
