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