Waste Treatment Design and Operations Engineer

Micron Technology invites you to apply for the Waste Treatment Design and Operations Engineer role. As a leader in memory and storage solutions, Micron is committed to environmental excellence and operational sustainability.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence. Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

The Waste Treatment Engineer will oversee the design of waste treatment systems for high‑tech semiconductor manufacturing projects. You will manage external design firms, ensuring that systems comply with project specifications, environmental regulations, and safety standards. The role requires technical expertise, project management skills, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration.

• Coordinate third‑party design firms to develop waste treatment systems, including chemical neutralization, wastewater treatment, and solid waste handling.
• Review and validate third‑party design work, such as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards.
• Conduct technical evaluations of third‑party designs, verifying performance metrics such as treatment efficiency, chemical compatibility, discharge compliance, and system safety.
• Work with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal collaborators to align system designs with facility requirements and timelines.
• Perform quality assurance and risk assessments on third‑party designs, identifying and resolving issues related to regulatory compliance, constructability, or environmental impact.
• Ensure third‑party designs integrate seamlessly with other facility systems, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for coordination.
• Coordinate the implementation of safety and environmental protocols for waste treatment systems, ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local laws for hazardous waste management.
• Apply BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to verify design interoperability and operational efficiency.

• Bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, or a related field. Advanced certifications, such as PE or Hazardous Waste Operations Certification, are a plus.
• Lead design processes for wastewater, chemical, or solid waste treatment systems for 2+ years.
• Strong knowledge of waste treatment system design, including chemical neutralization, biological treatment, filtration, and hazardous waste disposal for industrial applications.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as EPA’s RCRA, Clean Water Act, SEMI S2, and local environmental codes.
• Proficiency in reviewing engineering work, including P&IDs, 3D models, and specifications, using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks.

• Experience coordinating third‑party designs for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or industrial facilities with stringent waste treatment requirements.
• Knowledge of balanced design practices, such as water recycling, zero‑liquid discharge systems, or waste‑to‑energy technologies.
• Familiarity with clash detection and design integration processes using BIM tools.
• Ability to mentor internal teams or liaise effectively with external collaborators to ensure design alignment.
• Experience with control systems (PLC, SCADA) and BIM workflows for design coordination is highly desirable.
