Specialty Gas Design and Operations Engineer

Coordinate third-party design firms in the development of specialty gas systems, including bulk gas, VMB/VMP layouts, and point-of-use delivery for hazardous and non-hazardous gases. Review and verify design work such as P&IDs, gas panel schematics, equipment specifications, and system routing to ensure compliance with project requirements and codes (e.g., SEMI S2, NFPA 55, CGA). Conduct technical evaluations of gas system designs, verifying flow capacity, pressure control, material compatibility, and leak integrity. Coordinate with internal collaborators, construction teams, and vendors to ensure seamless integration of gas systems with other facility utilities (e.g., process tools, exhaust, and life safety systems). Perform constructability reviews, risk assessments, and QA/QC checks on third-party designs to identify and resolve issues related to safety, code compliance, or operational performance. Support commissioning and startup activities by reviewing test protocols, verifying system performance, and coordinating with vendors for equipment validation. Apply BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to ensure design coordination and operational readiness. Provide technical guidance to design firms and internal teams, ensuring alignment with guidelines in specialty gas handling and delivery. Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Advanced certifications (e.g., PE, GAWDA, or hazardous gas safety training) are a plus. 3-5 years of experience in specialty gas engineering, with at least 2 years coordinating third-party design or handling gas system projects in high-purity industrial, pharmaceutical, or semiconductor environments. Strong knowledge of gas delivery system design, including pressure regulation, gas cabinet/panel design, and hazardous gas monitoring. Familiarity with applicable codes and standards such as SEMI S2/S6, NFPA 55/70, CGA guidelines, and local fire codes. Proficiency in reviewing engineering work using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks. Knowledge of advanced gas technologies such as automatic changeover systems, gas blending, or toxic gas abatement. Familiarity with BIM-based clash detection and design integration processes. Ability to mentor engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
