Contribute to systems involving ultrapure water (UPW), high‑purity water (HPW), specialty gases, chemical distribution, and wastewater treatment. Perform engineering calculations such as flow analysis, pressure drop (friction loss), pump sizing, and basic heat transfer evaluations. Assist in the development of PFDs, P&IDs, and system layouts under the guidance of senior engineers. Participate in equipment selection and specification, including pumps, filtration systems, heat exchangers, and chemical delivery systems. Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and controls teams to ensure coordinated system design in a design‑build environment. Support field activities including construction coordination, system walkthroughs, and commissioning efforts. Assist with troubleshooting and resolving technical issues during design and installation phases. Ensure designs align with applicable codes, standards, and client requirements. Qualifications Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline. 3–6 years of relevant experience in process engineering, preferably within a design‑build or EPC environment. Exposure to projects in semiconductor, advanced high‑tech manufacturing, cleanroom, or mission‑critical facilities. Foundational knowledge in one or more of the following systems: Ultrapure or high‑purity water systems Specialty gas and chemical distribution systems Wastewater treatment systems (including solvent or acid systems) Fluid transfer and pumping systems Heat exchange systems Understanding of piping systems, including basic pressure drop and material selection considerations. Familiarity with PFDs and P&IDs. Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills. Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast‑paced environment. Preferred Qualifications Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) certification or progress toward Professional Engineer (PE) licensure. Internship or project experience within semiconductor or advanced manufacturing facilities. Familiarity with industry standards such as SEMI or ASME B31.3. Exposure to commissioning, startup, or field support activities.
