SSOE Group
Within SSOE’s Advanced Technology division, we specialize in high-tech facility design, offering design and engineering services to a diverse array of clients and markets. Our team collaborates across disciplines, using a cross-disciplinary approach to understand client needs and deliver integrated design solutions.
Mechanical Engineer
– Senior Mechanical Engineer role in design, engineering, and delivery of complex mechanical systems for contamination-controlled semiconductor environments. This position offers opportunities to mentor developing engineers and influence project success for leading semiconductor clients.
Responsibilities
Lead mechanical system design for semiconductor tool installations, including:
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 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 codes and standards (e.g., ASME, ASHRAE, NFPA, SMACNA, SEMI standards) and client-specific 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 for seamless integration of mechanical systems.
Conduct field verifications, site surveys, and as-built documentation to assess conditions and support construction and commissioning.
Provide engineering support during construction, including RFI responses, submittal reviews, site inspections, and system start-up oversight.
Develop detailed sequence of operations (SOO) and contribute to control system narratives.
Serve as technical authority and mentor in mechanical engineering, fostering technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution.
Active Professional Engineer (PE) license or ability to obtain reciprocity within an acceptable timeframe.
Experience in mechanical engineering design with a focus on semiconductor facilities, cleanrooms, or analogous high-tech projects.
Experience with design-build and fast-track project delivery for semiconductor tool install projects (highly desirable).
Strong experience with hydraulic modeling software (e.g., PIPE-FLO, AFT Fathom, AFT Arrow, or similar).
Knowledge of HVAC (including cleanrooms), plumbing, fire protection, and process mechanical systems (UPW, PCW, process exhaust, specialty gases).
Understanding of relevant codes and standards: ASHRAE, SMACNA, NFPA, IMC, SEMI Standards (S2, S6), and familiarity with HPM-related requirements.
Experience with field verifications and site walks; ability to troubleshoot design/construction issues in real time.
Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills for interfacing with clients, vendors, and multidisciplinary teams.
Salary Range: $120,000 - $170,000/year (location, education, experience, and certifications considered).
Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401K with company matching, professional development support, and PTO/paid holidays.
Location and Employment Type
Onsite role in Fremont, CA; remote or hybrid work arrangements are not available. Relocation assistance may be provided for well-qualified candidates.
Employment type: Full-time
Seniority level: Mid-Senior level
