Design Engineer

Summary: The Design Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing facility systems for semiconductor projects, including Air Abatement Systems or Cleanrooms or Fire Protection or FMCS / I&C or Mechanical or PX & Structural Systems whichever is your area of expertise. This role involves creating detailed schematics, layouts, schedules, and calculations, ensuring compliance with industry standards and safety regulations, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to support project execution. The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical skills, proficiency in relevant design software, and the ability to oversee projects from concept to completion.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities based on specific background, education and experience include the following. Other duties may be assigned.

• Design and develop facility systems such as air abatement or electrical or cleanroom or HVAC or piping, structural layouts and process utilities based on project requirements.
• Process Engineering with a focus on the movement of fluids and gases used in manufacturing or laboratory environments.
• Calculate flow rates, pressure drops, and thermal loads to ensure the systems meet the equipment requirements.
• Sizing pumps, heat exchangers, and vacuum producers
• Prepare and review schematics, layouts, equipment schedules, flow diagrams, piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&ID), panel schedules, cable tray layouts, and bills of materials (BOM).
• Conduct system calculations such as load, flow rate, pressure drop, short-circuit analysis, and safety checks to ensure system reliability and efficiency.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards, and regulations (e.g., IMC, IBC, SMACNA, NEC, NFPA, IEEE, IEC).
• Coordinate with architects, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, structural engineers, and contractors to ensure seamless project integration.
• Perform site visits, inspections, and evaluations to support design accuracy and troubleshoot installation issues.
• Utilize AutoCAD, Revit, and other relevant design software to create and modify drawings.
• Assist in selecting and specifying equipment (air handlers, pumps, scrubbers, fans, switchgear, control panels, fire suppression systems, etc.).
• Review contractor submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings to ensure compliance with design specifications.
• Participate in design reviews, value engineering exercises, and risk assessments.
• Support procurement and construction teams with technical expertise, documentation, and troubleshooting.
• Ensure quality control measures are met throughout the project lifecycle.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in semiconductor facility design.
• Other responsibilities as assigned.
