Process Engineer

at  Ssoe Inc

Overview:
SSOE provides unparalleled opportunities for professional growth, offering the advantages typical of a large firm combined with the collaborative and supportive culture commonly associated with smaller organizations. We prioritize an employee-centric atmosphere that fosters a healthy work-life balance, exceptional benefits, and a commitment to continuous learning.
We are seeking a Process Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will engage in the designing, engineering, and implementing of designs for cutting-edge process/chemical systems within state-of-the-art industrial and high-tech manufacturing facilities serving global leaders in technology. As a Process Engineer at SSOE, you will collaborate with fellow Process Engineers, Design teams, and Senior Project Managers to develop innovative solutions for intricate and challenging designs, incorporating the latest design methodologies while ensuring adherence to specifications and timely project completion. This position is a hybrid role that will require you to occasionally work onsite and be located in the Chandler, AZ area. Fully remote or travel work arrangements for this role are not available.

Responsibilities:

• Proficient in designing piping systems that transport gases, chemicals, and liquids within the semiconductor manufacturing facility. Selection of appropriate materials, sizing pipes, and ensuring efficient flow rates.
• Create detailed piping layouts, considering factors like pressure, temperature, and safety regulations. Piping design involves understanding fluid dynamics, stress analysis, and corrosion resistance.
• Develop process flow diagrams, process, and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), system layout plans (optimizing space utilization and ensuring efficient workflow), equipment sizing and selection (such as pumps, compressors, and heat exchangers), and associated specification write-ups.
• Execute process design from conceptual design and criteria development through construction document production and provide engineering support during construction.
• Perform a variety of engineering assignments under the direction of a supervisor with increasing responsibility based on performance.
• Consult with supervisor to screen assignments for unusual or difficult problems and select appropriate methods and techniques to apply and estimate the hours required for the approach.
• Draft interpretation of design into completed working drawings and apply engineering fundamentals to design.
• Interface with multiple engineering disciplines, project management, system owners, vendors and contractors via phone, email, and live meetings.
• Perform engineering calculations and communicate on PC system.
• Design chemical process systems utilizing pressure loss and stress analysis programs.
• Coordinate with clients and contractors and lead site walks.
• May be assisted by a designer, but usually assumes no responsibility for direction of others.
• Being available afterhours may be required for deadline days.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor Degree in Chemical Engineering, which qualifies for licensure in the state of practice, is required.
• Experience with AutoCAD and Revit is required.
• Knowledge of chemical process systems control philosophy including P&ID development.
• Experience with the design and engineering of systems that consist of fluid transfer, heat exchange, friction loss in piping systems, ultrapure/high purity water systems, specialty gas and chemical systems, solvent/acid/hazardous wastewater treatment systems or other related systems.
• Semiconductor experience is preferred.
• Salary Range: $70,000 - $85,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, PTO, & paid holidays.
