As a Senior Semiconductor Process Piping Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of piping systems for semiconductor manufacturing and support facilities. This includes (but is not limited to) engineering, sizing, and specification of semiconductor process and utility distribution systems and components such as gas cabinets, valve manifold boxes and panels (VMBs and VMPs), valve panels at tools, automatic and manual changeovers, pressure control stations, regulators, mass flow controllers, control valves, filters and purifiers, vacuum distribution interfaces, pumps, heat exchangers, vaporizers, dryers, separators, knockout tanks, accumulators, surge bottles, pressure relief devices, purge and vent systems, abatement interfaces, distribution headers and manifolds, and tie-ins to vendor skids. It also includes selecting instrumentation and controls such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level instruments, transmitters and switches, gauges, analyzers, leak detection, valve positioners, alarms, and shutdown and interlock devices, and documenting these selections on PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and drawings.
To be successful in this role, you must be able to translate Owner requirements into design reality and communicate the design through engineering drawings and specifications while following all pertinent codes, client standards, and regulations. Critical thinking and analytical skills are a must. Teamwork and coordination with other disciplines is essential to a complete design. This position also values candidates who have experience building and maintaining client relationships, leading technical discussions, supporting pursuits, and serving as a trusted interface with owners and stakeholders.
On a typical day, you will work in CAD programs such as Revit and Inventor for 3D design. AFT Arrow and AFT Fathom are often used for analysis, along with hand calculations. You will also support budget performance, manage team hours, work closely with Project Managers, and serve as the technical interface with clients, leading page turns, design reviews, and participating in client meetings. You will be expected to provide project management and engineering leadership for semiconductor piping design efforts and drive projects to successful delivery.
