** is required. Cryogenic experience is preferred but not required. Candidates with backgrounds in process piping, semiconductor equipment, industrial gases, chemical processing, mechanical systems, or related industries are encouraged to apply.
** Key Responsibilities
**** Technical Sales Support
*** Partner with regional sales managers and business development teams to evaluate customer opportunities and develop technical solutions.
* Serve as the primary engineering contact during the quotation and proposal process.
* Review customer specifications, process requirements, and project documents to determine system scope and technical requirements.
* Provide technical presentations and support customer design reviews.
** System Design & Engineering
*** Design vacuum-jacketed piping (VJP) systems and related cryogenic fluid distribution equipment for semiconductor OEM and end-user applications.
* Develop system layouts, equipment specifications, pipe routing concepts, and design calculations.
* Evaluate thermal, mechanical, and operational requirements for proposed systems.
* Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, industry standards, and customer specifications.
* Support detailed engineering reviews and design optimization efforts.
** Manufacturing Support & Product Validation
*** Serve as the engineering lead during fabrication and assembly of first-article systems and new product designs.
* Provide hands-on support to manufacturing teams to ensure designs are built in accordance with engineering requirements and customer specifications.
* Monitor first-article builds, identify design or manufacturability issues, and drive corrective actions.
* Review fabrication drawings, bills of material, weldments, and assembly processes to ensure successful execution.
* Collaborate with production, quality, and supply chain teams to resolve technical issues and minimize production delays.
* Lead design reviews and lessons-learned activities following first builds, incorporating improvements into future designs and standards.
* Support factory acceptance testing (FAT), pressure testing, and system validation activities as required.
* Develop and maintain design standards that improve manufacturability, quality, and scalability of semiconductor product offerings.
* Act as the engineering authority for design changes, deviations, and disposition of non-conforming materials related to assigned projects.
** Customer & Cross-Functional Collaboration
*** Interface directly with semiconductor OEM customers, EPC firms, and end users.
* Coordinate with manufacturing, project management, sourcing, and quality teams to ensure design feasibility and successful project execution.
* Provide engineering support during fabrication, testing, installation, and commissioning when required.
* Travel to customer locations as needed for site visits and technical meetings.
** Continuous Improvement
