Schedule: M-F 8am to 5pm Pay Rate: $185k+ Annually DOE Location: Santa Clara, CA Position Type: Full-Time Benefits: Eligible for WGNSTAR’s full benefits package, including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k). Additional benefits: Paid Vacation, Select Holidays, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability, DCRA, Employee, Spouse, and Child Life Insurance. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: Provide technical support for facility mechanical systems, including HVAC, exhaust, Process PCW cooling water, compressed air, vacuum, thermal systems, gas delivery interfaces, waste water, and other mechanical utilities that support semiconductor operations. Troubleshoot mechanical failures, capacity constraints, flow/pressure issues, temperature control concerns, vibration issues, contamination-control concerns, reliability issues, and recurring defects. Lead or support root‑cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions for mechanical system issues affecting facility performance, production support, safety, or customer commitments. Perform or review practical engineering calculations such as heat load, airflow, pressure drop, flow, pump/fan performance, utility demand, and capacity assessments as needed for system evaluations and customer requests. Support maintenance strategy, preventive maintenance content, inspections, outage planning, shutdown/startup coordination, and reliability improvements in partnership with the Operations Manager, technicians, vendors, and customer stakeholders. Review, interpret, and help maintain mechanical drawings, P&IDs, layouts, specifications, O&M manuals, control sequences, procedures, and related technical records. Support mechanical modifications, upgrades, installations, commissioning activities, punch‑list resolution, and handover documentation. Coordinate with electrical, process, equipment, controls, safety, and customer teams to resolve facility/system interface issues. Provide technical guidance to stationary engineers, technicians, vendors, and contractors within the role's authority; verify work scope and quality without assuming employee management responsibilities. Ensure mechanical work is planned and executed in alignment with cleanroom protocols, contamination-control expectations, lockout/tagout requirements, safety standards, environmental requirements, and customer/site procedures. Prepare clear technical reports, issue summaries, punch lists, root‑cause documentation, risk assessments, and status updates for internal and customer stakeholders. Participate in customer technical discussions and escalations; translate facility issues into practical, technically sound recommendations. Requirements: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant industrial facilities experience as approved by the hiring manager. 5+ years of experience as facility operations in either semiconductor or pharmaceutical. Experience supporting facility electrical infrastructure in a semiconductor, cleanroom, critical‑environment, industrial manufacturing, data center, or comparable high‑reliability setting. Working knowledge of power distribution, electrical controls/interfaces, instrumentation, grounding, electrical drawings, single‑line diagrams, schematics, and field troubleshooting practices. Ability to interpret technical drawings, specifications, procedures, equipment manuals, preventive maintenance documents, and customer/site standards. Familiarity with applicable electrical code requirements, electrical safe work practices, lockout/tagout, energized‑work controls, and site safety procedures. Ability to support low‑voltage and/or medium‑/high‑voltage facility systems as required by the final site scope and candidate qualifications. Strong root‑cause analysis, problem‑solving, documentation, communication, and cross‑functional coordination skills. Ability to work on site in a semiconductor or cleanroom environment, including gowning, safety protocols, and planned outage or escalation support as required. Experience with high‑purity utilities, specialty gas distribution interfaces, vacuum systems, exhaust systems, chilled/process cooling water, HVAC controls, and building automation systems. Preferences: Experience in Project management, Controls and knowledge of semiconductor processes. SPC Knowledge. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. Experience with CMMS/EAM systems, BAS/SCADA interfaces, commissioning, outage planning, reliability programs, or technical change control.
