Dry Mechanical Operations Engineer

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 Dry Mechanical Systems Operations Engineer, you will oversee the design, construction and commissioning of dry mechanical systems, including Process Exhaust, HVAC systems, and Clean Make‑up handling units, 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 Micron’s 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 dry mechanical systems, 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.

• Oversee third‑party design firms in the development of dry mechanical systems.
• Review and validate third‑party design deliverables such as 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 flow rates, velocities, pressures, friction losses, thermal efficiency, and system reliability.
• Create and maintain design standards, construction specifications, and critical operational specifications.
• Collaborate with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to align dry mechanical system designs with facility requirements and project timelines.
• Perform quality assurance and risk assessments on third‑party designs, identifying and resolving issues related to constructability, efficiency, or compliance with building codes and regulations.
• Ensure third‑party designs integrate seamlessly with other facility systems such as Chilled Water, UPW (ultra‑pure water), chemical systems, or gas systems, using BIM tools for coordination.
• Oversee the implementation of safety and regulatory protocols for dry mechanical systems, ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local codes (e.g., International Fire Code, International Mechanical Code).
• 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.

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

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.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field.
• Advanced certifications (e.g., PE, LEED AP, CPD) are a plus.
• Minimum of 3‑5 years of experience in dry mechanical engineering, with at least 2 years overseeing third‑party design or managing design processes for clean‑room HVAC systems, HVAC hydronic, or process exhaust systems.
• Strong knowledge of Dry mechanical system design, including Clean Room HVAC systems and process exhaust for semiconductor manufacturing applications.
• Familiari…
