Mechanical Engineer
to join our team. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will be a pivotal leader in the design, engineering, and delivery of highly complex mechanical systems in contamination-controlled environments. You will spearhead projects demanding innovative thinking, execution, and understanding of advanced mechanical principles. This role offers the opportunity to mentor developing engineers and influence the success of our leading semiconductor clients and our firm\'s growth in this dynamic sector. AI and Innovation
- As part of our commitment to innovation, all team members will be trained on Microsoft Copilot and empowered to use it as a core tool in their everyday work. Responsibilities
Lead mechanical system design for semiconductor tool installations Develop utility matrices based on tool vendor requirements Design point-of-use (POU) connections for all mechanical utilities (PCW, exhaust, gases, drains) Ensure designs meet stringent vibration, acoustic, and EMI/RFI criteria Lead the design, analysis, and specification of complex HVAC systems for semiconductor manufacturing environments Engineer critical process cooling and heating systems Design and oversee ultra-pure water (UPW) and industrial water systems, including RO/DI water, process drains, and chemical delivery/drain systems Develop and detail specialized exhaust systems for hazardous production materials (HPMs) Perform detailed thermodynamic, hydraulic, and psychrometric analyses to optimize system performance, energy efficiency, and operational stability Champion safety in design, ensuring compliance with all relevant codes, standards (e.g., ASME, ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, SEMI), and client EHS requirements for HPMs Lead and participate in design reviews, HAZOP studies, and constructability reviews Drive interdisciplinary coordination with electrical, structural, process, chemical, controls, and architectural teams to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems Conduct field verifications, site surveys, and as-built documentation to assess existing conditions, identify design constraints, and support construction and commissioning phases Provide engineering support during construction, including RFI responses, submittal reviews, site inspections, and system start-up and commissioning oversight Develop detailed sequence of operations (SOO) and contribute to control system narratives Serve as a technical authority and mentor in mechanical engineering, guiding junior engineers and designers Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution is required Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the state of practice, or ability to obtain reciprocity within an acceptable timeframe is required Demonstrated experience in mechanical engineering design, with significant focus on semiconductor facilities, cleanrooms, or analogous high-tech industrial projects Experience with design-build and fast-track project delivery for semiconductor tool install projects is highly desirable Strong experience with hydraulic modeling software: PIPE-FLO, AFT Fathom, AFT Arrow, or similar In-depth knowledge of HVAC (including cleanroom), plumbing, fire protection (general understanding, coordination with FPE), and process mechanical systems (UPW, PCW, process exhaust, specialty gases) Understanding of relevant codes and standards: ASHRAE 62.1/90.1, SMACNA, NFPA (especially for HPMs), IMC, and familiarity with SEMI Standards Proven experience performing detailed field verifications and site walks, with ability to troubleshoot complex design and construction issues in real-time Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills Salary Range: $120,000 - $170,000/year depending on location, education, depth of relevant experience, and certifications Benefits: Health, dental, vision insurance; life insurance; 401K with company matching; opportunities for professional development and training; relocation assistance may be provided This position is an onsite role that requires you to work onsite daily and be located in the Fremont, CA area. Remote or hybrid work arrangements are not available. Join us at SSOE, where your expertise will thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design and engineering excellence. If you\'re passionate about innovation and eager to make a significant impact, we invite you to apply and become a part of our forward-thinking team.
