Job description
We are searching for a Process Utility Systems Engineer to play a vital part in our expanding semiconductor manufacturing operations. This is a dynamic position that spans the entire project lifecycle—from initial planning and installation through ongoing operations and system improvements—requiring flexibility, initiative, and hands-on technical expertise.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage with engineering teams and project consultants to confirm all utility system specifications are met during the design and construction phases.
- Interpret technical drawings and project documentation to oversee construction and ensure milestones are achieved on schedule.
- Take part in equipment commissioning, including preparing systems for operational use and conducting thorough testing procedures.
- Troubleshoot and resolve technical challenges that arise during both construction and system start-up.
- Maintain up-to-date process system documentation, and coordinate the transition of systems from construction to operational teams.
- Provide technical support for critical utilities including chilled water, cooling towers, steam, and vacuum systems, ensuring they run optimally for manufacturing needs.
- Respond to control issues in cleanroom environments, monitoring temperature, humidity, and pressure to maintain required standards.
- Track system performance using data analysis and report findings with recommendations.
- Champion energy efficiency by identifying and enacting waste reduction or process improvement initiatives.
- Research and introduce new technologies that strengthen system dependability, efficiency, and safety.
- Develop and execute plans for system capacity, maintenance, and expansion to align with production goals.
- Collaborate closely with maintenance and operations personnel to enhance reliability and develop streamlined maintenance processes.
- Review and assess facility and tool schematics throughout utility hook-up, providing detailed engineering evaluations.
- Apply proven reliability engineering techniques—such as failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) and root cause investigation—to continuously elevate system performance.
- Lead and support capital and expense projects aimed at facility enhancement.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- At least 3 years’ experience working with process utility engineering in manufacturing facilities, ideally in the semiconductor or similar high-tech sector.
- Proven expertise in utility systems such as chilled water, steam, cooling towers, and process vacuum.
- Comfortable interpreting complex engineering drawings and technical documents.
- Practical knowledge of cleanroom protocols and HVAC or exhaust system operations.
- Skilled in programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Demonstrated analytical thinking, effective problem-solving, and sound judgement.
- Experience across the full project lifecycle: facility design, construction, commissioning, and ramp-up.
- Professional Engineering License (PE) is highly desired but not required.
