Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) Design & Operations Engineer

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. The US Construction Engineering department is responsible for the design and construction efforts for high-tech, large-scale projects for Micron in the US. Current high-profile projects include the design and construction of two high-volume manufacturing fabs in Boise, ID and a third fab in Clay, New York. Micron seeks an experienced Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) Engineer to oversee third-party design and integration of UPW systems for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The role includes managing external design firms to ensure systems meet strict safety, performance, and regulatory standards. The engineer will spend at least two years with the construction team on design oversight and commissioning, then transition to operations for ongoing support and optimization. Key Responsibilities Oversee third-party design firms in the development of UPW systems, including pretreatment, reverse osmosis, deionization, and polishing processes. Review and validate design deliverables such as P&IDs, equipment specifications, and system layouts to ensure compliance with project requirements and industry standards. Conduct technical evaluations of UPW system designs, verifying flow rates, water quality targets, material compatibility, and system reliability. Coordinate with internal stakeholders, construction teams, and vendors to ensure seamless integration of UPW systems with other facility utilities. 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. Utilize BIM tools and control systems to ensure design coordination and operational readiness. Provide technical guidance to design firms and internal teams, ensuring alignment with best practices in UPW system design and operation. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. 3–5 years of experience in UPW engineering, with at least 2 years overseeing third-party design or managing UPW system projects in high-purity industrial, pharma semiconductor environments. Strong knowledge of UPW system design, including pretreatment, RO, DI, UV sterilization, and reclaim processes. Familiarity with applicable codes and standards such as SEMI F63, ASTM standards for water purity, and local environmental regulations. Proficiency in reviewing engineering deliverables using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks. Preferred Qualifications Experience managing UPW systems in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or high-purity industrial facilities. Knowledge of advanced water treatment technologies such as continuous electro-deionization, reclaim/reuse systems, and zero-liquid discharge. Familiarity with BIM-based clash detection and design integration processes and experience with control systems. Ability to mentor junior engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Advanced certifications. Micron is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.
