Responsibilities

• Develop and execute commissioning plans, procedures, checklists, and functional test scripts for assigned process and facility utility systems.
• Review P&IDs, specifications, sequences of operation, vendor data, system boundaries, and turnover packages to confirm readiness and acceptance criteria.
• Perform field walkdowns and verify installation, labeling, accessibility, cleanliness, instrumentation, and completion against approved design and commissioning requirements.
• Coordinate construction, QA/QC, controls, vendors, safety, and operations activities for pressure testing, flushing, leak testing, loop checks, energization, and startup.
• Support commissioning of gas and chemical systems, ultrapure water, process cooling water, compressed dry air, vacuum, exhaust and scrubber systems, wastewater, and related process utilities.
• Witness and document equipment startup, alarm and interlock verification, controls integration, vendor testing, and functional performance testing.
• Analyze test results and system performance, troubleshoot process, mechanical, instrumentation, and controls issues, and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Manage commissioning deficiencies and punch items through closure while maintaining test records, system status, progress updates, and risk logs.
• Protect live fab systems by following system ownership, management of change, lockout and tagout, permit, contamination control, and safe work requirements.
• Coordinate final acceptance and turnover, ensuring test reports, redlines, operations manuals, training records, spare parts, and closeout documentation are complete.
• Support startup stabilization, performance verification, warranty follow up, and lessons learned after systems are placed into service.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of commissioning, startup, process engineering, or facilities engineering experience on complex manufacturing projects, including direct semiconductor fab or cleanroom experience.
• Hands on knowledge of high purity process utilities and the ability to read P&IDs, piping isometrics, control narratives, equipment data sheets, instrument lists, and cause and effect matrices.
• Experience with the commissioning lifecycle from mechanical completion and system turnover through functional testing, startup, stabilization, and final acceptance.
• Working knowledge of applicable industrial codes and standards, including ASME B31.3, NFPA 70, NFPA 55, semiconductor safety practices, and project specifications.
