Club career
Jiménez started his career with Indios de Ciudad Juárez.
In 2010 he was transferred on loan to Cruz Azul Hidalgo. The same year he joined Lobos de la BUAP where he played a total of 36 between Segunda División and Copa MX.
In 2013 Jimenez was transferred to Chiapas Jaguar.
América
The goalkeeper depth chart was depleted after Moisés Muñoz and Hugo Gonzalez Duran were transferred out to their respective teams. After Club America signed Agustin Marchesin, Jimenez was signed on as the backup goalkeeper.
After Marchesin departed to Porto FC, Jimenez later became the first choice goalkeeper for the team until his role was taken over by Guillermo Ochoa.
