As an engineer for the Facilities team, you will demonstrate a strong sense of mechanical ability and enthusiasm and will possess an attitude that embodies our core values – Integrity, Commitment, Innovation and Customer Trust. The Facilities Mechanical Engineer will focus on optimizing cost efficiency, smart operations and green manufacturing to build an innovative and reliable foundation to manage facilities operations for an advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility. To this end, you will contribute to achieving energy efficiency by developing technologies such as green building design/maintenance, utilities conservation, material reduction, recycling and reclamation, and greenhouse gas control and reduction.
Responsibilities include designing, building and operating a cleanroom, including air flow control, temperature and humidity control, and air molecules monitoring and control in order to provide an ultra-clean environment for 5nm and beyond fab production. You will also design, build and operate chilled water systems including chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, rotating equipment (motors, fans) and water-cooled air handling units. Additionally, you will design, build and operate general exhaust units, wet scrubbing unit, thermal oxidizer units, and local process air abatement units. You will work with design or project management organizations on large-scale designs and projects. Conducting construction administration and site observations, running daily system operation and operation data analysis, monitoring and managing utilities distribution, providing routine system preventative maintenance and troubleshooting are also part of your duties. If hired, you may be required to participate in and perform Emergency Response Team (ERT) duties.
Qualifications include a minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC/R Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or other related technical fields. A Ph.D. or master's degree is preferred. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, ability to actively listen, ask questions and understand the key takeaways from conversations with diverse colleagues are required. An understanding of heat transfer, thermal management and fluid dynamics design and a general knowledge of heat and thermal conventional manufacturing techniques are necessary. Shift work and emergency overtime are required. Familiarity with vibration analysis, air molecules and chemical analysis is preferred. A team player that can multitask and thrive in a very dynamic and fast-paced environment is needed. Experience with mechanical systems operations in the semiconductor manufacturing industry is preferred. An understanding of HVAC, plumbing and building codes (e.g., ASHRAE, IBC, IECC, IMC, and IPC) is required. Experience with AutoCAD is required.
Physical requirements include spending extended hours working inside and outside in all weather conditions, and in awkward body positions which can cause physical discomfort and strain. You may be required to lift up to 50 lbs and to adjust heavy objects. The position will come in contact with sharp, hot, and cold equipment, and parts. Must be medically qualified to wear a personal respirator and other PPE. Sensory demands include exposure to the smells associated with industrial chemical operations, exposure to the sounds associated with powered tools and industrial equipment. Must have the ability to safely climb ladders, and work at elevation from ladders, scaffolding, lifts, roofs, or platforms, and the ability to work in confined spaces. Shift expectations include standard shifts, a Compressed Work Week, and may be required to work night or swing shift on a rotational basis. Scheduled night shifts and weekend on-call rotations in a 24/7 high-volume manufacturing environment. Candidates must be willing and able to work on-site at our Phoenix Arizona facility.
