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 Chemical Systems Operations Engineer, you will oversee the design, construction and commissioning of Process Chemical 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 chemical delivery systems and 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 process chemical systems, including bulk chemicals, VMB/VMP layouts, and point-of-use delivery

* Review and validate third-party design deliverables, including piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards (e.g., SEMI S2, ASME B31.3).

* Conduct technical evaluations of gas system designs, verifying flow capacity, pressure control, material compatibility, and leak integrity.

* Coordinate with internal stakeholders, construction teams, and vendors to ensure seamless integration of gas systems with other facility utilities (e.g., process tools, exhaust, and life safety systems).

* Collaborate with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to align chemical 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, safety, or compliance.

* Support construction by responding to RFIs, reviewing submittals, and participating in field coordination and inspections.

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

* Oversee the implementation of safety protocols for hazardous chemicals, ensuring compliance with OSHA, NFPA, CGA guidelines, and local regulations.

* Monitor system health using diagnostic tools and performance data to proactively identify and resolve issues.

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

* 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.
