Job Description

Process Engineers on the Process Engineering team are key partners for customers in the NorthAmerican market. They are creative technical leaders who support the successful sale, engineering,commissioning, and operation of complete system solutions. To deliver winning solutions, they applydeep technical knowledge of our solutions and technologies combined with an understanding of thecustomer’s process, the market, regulations, and our competitors to continually balance technical riskwith commercial viability.

On complex flow sheets with multiple unit processes, a Process Engineering Project Technical Leader - Microelectronicsis included on theproject to own the overall solution for our customer in collaboration with one or more ProcessEngineers with expertise in the various technologies used in the flow sheet. A Process Engineering Project Technical Leader - Microelectronicsrequires the abilities and expertise of a Process Engineer, and the technical, leadership, andcommunication skills of an Engineering Project Manager. The Process Engineering Project Technical Leader - Microelectronics requires domainexpertise to act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and technical point of contact in customer and internalcommunications. From a technical perspective, they have responsibility for the overall treatmentsolution including strategizing on the creation of that solution (safety factors, flow fluctuations,assumptions), identifying and managing the impacts that any given unit process will have onupstream/downstream unit processes as well as process risks, and owning the overall process flow
diagram, accompanying flow and quality balance, and overall process guarantees. From a leadershipperspective, they proactively communicate across the team of Process Engineers, manage the processdeliverables (schedules, assignments), and represent Process Engineering in review meetings at the
bidding and engineering stages. If process issues arise, they lead the troubleshooting effort and
resolution.

As the focal point of the Process Team for projects, the Process Engineering Project Technical Leader - Microelectronics functions as a dual-path expert. Their time allocation is strategically divided into approximately 60% Communication,Organization, and Coordination, where they manage process deliverables, schedules, and cross-functional representation. The remaining approximately 40% is dedicated to Technical Expertise, actingas a Subject Matter Expert (SME) who owns the overall treatment solution, including process guaranteesand the troubleshooting of complex issues.

The Process Engineering Project Technical Leader - Microelectronics for the Microelectronics market will lead proposals and projects inexecution for our Microelectronics customers’ ultrapure water (UPW), wastewater, and reclaimtreatment needs.
