Full Time

Within SSOE's Advanced Technology division, we specialize in high-tech facility design, offering top-tier design and engineering services to a diverse array of clients and markets. Our team is composed of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals who excel across various disciplines. We pride ourselves on our cross-disciplinary approach, which allows us to understand and address our clients' needs more comprehensively than traditional, siloed methods.

What sets us apart is our ability to seamlessly conceptualize, plan, and detail every aspect of design. Our in-house experts collaborate closely, optimizing and enhancing our work through multi-discipline strategy sessions. By leveraging cutting-edge techniques and state-of-the-art software, we deliver industry-leading technology and innovative solutions from day one.

The Instrumentation and Controls Engineer will support design and delivery of complex facilities in the Semiconductor / Advanced Technology market, with a focus on cleanroom environments, fab support systems, and advanced manufacturing infrastructure. This role develops control system concepts, instrumentation selections, sequences of operation, and coordinated construction documents using AutoCAD and Revit, while working closely with project managers, discipline leads, clients, and contractors.

The engineer will review design changes, manage technical risks, support QA and QC checks, and help ensure constructability, safety, and operational reliability from early design through commissioning and startup. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, clear communication, and a collaborative approach in a fast-paced global project environment.

At SSOE, we don't just talk about the future, we build it. As a leader in industry AI adoption, we empower our team to work smarter by providing responsible access to the industry leading AI Large Language Models, vibe-coding platforms, and securely integrating advanced tools into every role. From day one, you'll receive the training and support needed to leverage AI as a core tool for enhancing productivity, sparking creativity, and streamlining complex workflows.

• Develop instrumentation and controls design solutions for clean rooms, fab facilities, and advanced manufacturing support systems across conceptual, schematic, design development, and construction document phases.
• Prepare design calculations, equipment and device schedules, control narratives, sequences of operation, I/O lists, and related technical documentation for building and process support systems.
• Create and coordinate drawings and models in AutoCAD and Revit, including plans, details, sections, risers, and coordinated layouts for control devices, panels, and associated infrastructure.
• Support integration of controls for HVAC, cleanroom pressure management, exhaust systems, process utilities, alarms, monitoring systems, and other facility automation interfaces.
• Coordinate with architectural, mechanical, electrical, process, and fire protection teams to resolve spatial conflicts, interface requirements, and system dependencies early in the design process.
• Participate in internal reviews, QA and QC checks, and interdisciplinary coordination meetings to ensure technical accuracy, code compliance, and alignment with project intent.
• Review vendor submittals, product data, shop drawings, and equipment information to confirm compliance with design requirements and project specifications.
• Respond to RFIs, review proposed field changes, and support formal change control by assessing technical impact, constructability, cost, and schedule implications.
• Conduct site walks, observe installation progress, verify field conditions, and support punch list resolution, testing, and commissioning activities during construction administration and startup.
• Coordinate directly with clients, contractors, and vendors to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and maintain project momentum through timely…
