Sr. Mechanical Engineer – Capital Projects and Facilities Engineering

Primary Duties & Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cleanroom System Design

• Develop and review designs for mechanical systems supporting cleanroom spaces and manufacturing infrastructure (e.g., HVAC, CDA, vacuum, PCW, exhaust).
• Create and review P&IDs, utility schematics, layout drawings, mechanical layouts, and system schematics
• Ensure designs are in alignment with ISO cleanroom classifications and applicable regulatory codes.
• Lead and/or participate in design reviews with firms and internal stakeholders verify feasibility and compliance of designs. 

Project Engineering & Execution Support

• Provide field engineering support during construction, including inspections, issue resolution, and validation of mechanical system installations.
• Participate in site walks, field verification, and construction inspections.
• Support issue resolution related to mechanical infrastructure system buildouts.
• Support project managers by coordinating design deliverables, contractor readiness, and construction activities related to mechanical systems.
• Develop and manage RFPs for mechanical infrastructure work and ensure effective flow-down of requirements to subcontractors.
• Monitor key milestones related to utility readiness and escalate risks to timelines as needed.
• Help ensure design changes and field conditions are promptly communicated and resolved.
• Assist in start-up, testing, and turnover of utility systems supporting cleanroom environments.
• Proactively identify opportunities for process, system, or documentation improvements in the tool utility or mechanical infrastructure space, and drive these to completion.
• Develop proposals and roadmaps for implementing long-term improvements.
• Contribute to the standardization of mechanical utility support and best practices across projects.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Project Managers, Construction Management, EHS, and Equipment Engineering, and Facilities teams to define and validate infrastructure requirements ensuring systems are safe, maintainable, and aligned with site needs.
• Collaborate with Equipment Installation teams to ensure facility readiness aligns with tool startup timelines, while staying focused on infrastructure.

Documentation & Compliance

• Generate and maintain accurate mechanical design documentation, red lines, as-builts, and system matrixes.
• Support the creation of preventive maintenance procedures for newly implemented systems.
• Ensure designs and construction meet all applicable codes, safety standards, and internal design guidelines.

 

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. In lieu of formal education, candidates with extensive hands-on experience in mechanical system design build, and operations will be considered. 
• 7+ years of experience in mechanical design or project engineering in high-tech, semiconductor, or pharmaceutical environments.
• Demonstrated experience supporting cleanroom design and utility infrastructure through design, construction, and commissioning phases.

Skills & Other Requirements 

• Strong interpersonal, teaming, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated leadership qualities, including the ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive decision-making.
• Proficiency in mechanical systems design including HVAC, chilled water, exhaust, and gas systems.
• Ability to read, interpret and create engineering drawings, P&ID, construction documents, and specifications.
• Effective communicator and team collaborator across engineering, construction, and operations teams.
• Familiarity with project coordination and milestone tracking in a construction setting.
• Familiarity with CAD tools; Revit or BIM experience is a plus.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with active construction zones and tight deadlines.
• Support of 24/7 operation
• This is a hybrid role. 
• Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally (less than 5% of the time).

Working Conditions

• Role requires walking, standing, and moving between construction zones, manufacturing and office environments during the workday.
• Comfortable working in both indoors, in cleanroom environments and outdoor/utility areas that may be exposed to heat, noise, vibration, and varying weather conditions.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to perf
