The US Expansion Construction team is responsible for the design and construction efforts for high-tech, large-scale projects for Micron in the US. Current projects include two high-volume manufacturing facilities in Boise, Idaho ID1 and ID2, and a greenfield manufacturing facility in Clay, New York.

As the NY Waste Treatment Operations Engineer, you will oversee the design, construction and commissioning of waste treatment systems for cutting edge semiconductor manufacturing facilities. As part of the US Expansion Strategic Programs team at Micron, you will have the unique opportunity to oversee Microns design and construction partners to ensure the project meets the program's stringent project specifications, performance standards and regulatory requirements from start to finish.

This role requires deep technical expertise in waste treatment processes, strong project management skills, and effective collaboration with multiple stakeholders. Upon completion of the construction and commissioning phase of the program this role will be transitioned to the NY operations engineering group where job responsibilities will transition to operational support and sustaining engineering activities.

Responsibilities and Tasks

* Oversee third-party design firms in the development of waste treatment systems, including chemical neutralization, wastewater treatment, and solid waste handling for hazardous and non-hazardous materials.

* Review and validate third-party design deliverables, such as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards (e.g., EPA, RCRA, Clean Water Act).

* Conduct technical evaluations of third-party designs, verifying performance metrics such as treatment efficiency, chemical compatibility, discharge compliance, and system safety.

* Collaborate with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to align waste treatment system designs with facility requirements and project 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, such as chemical delivery or Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) systems, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for coordination.

* Collaborate with 3rd-party quality teams to ensure construction meets final requirements needed for operations.

* Oversee commissioning and testing phases by reviewing third-party design performance and coordinating with vendors for equipment validation and system startup.

* Utilize BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to verify design interoperability and ensure operational efficiency.

* Provide technical guidance to third-party designers, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and advancements in wet mechanical system technologies.

* Monitor project progress, manage design-related risks, and ensure timely delivery of high-quality design deliverables.

* May require occasional travel to project sites, vendor facilities, or third-party design offices.

* Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple design deliverables and deadlines.

* Relocation to project location is required. Position is 100% on-site, no hybrid.
