At Jacobs, we do not settle – always looking beyond to raise the bar and deliver with excellence. We apply our expertise and knowledge as we look into the future with great optimism and focus. We don't settle until we give our best and know that we're making a difference.

Are you ready to take on projects that drive the world's most advanced manufacturing? We're looking for Electrical Engineers who thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and want to make an impact on semiconductor facilities and other state-of-the-art manufacturing projects.

Why join us?

  • Assist with complex design portions, providing on-site support during startup and construction.
  • Prepare construction documents and ensure alignment with client expectations, scope, budget, and schedule.

What we're looking for

  • Strong foundation in electrical engineering design for semiconductor, industrial or manufacturing environments.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing role.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Bring your curiosity, talent for multi-tasking and collaboration, and extreme organizational skills and we'll help you grow, pursue, and fulfill what drives you – so we can make big impacts on the world, together.

Here's what you'll need

  • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering
  • At least 8 years of engineering experience building electrical systems
  • Solid working knowledge of NFPA 70 (NEC) and IEEE standards
  • Experience with power system software, such as ETAP

  • Team leadership and client interaction experience
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Visa sponsorship is not available for this role

Ideally, you'll also have:

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
