Facility Design Engineer – Multiple Disciplines (Semiconductor)
IAQ ENGINEERING (SG) PTE. LTD.
This is a generic job description for multiple positions within our facility engineering team. We are hiring engineers with design and field experience in anyone of the following areas:
· ACMV / Cleanroom HVAC
· Process Utilities (chilled water, PCW, exhaust)
· Water Systems (UPW or WWTP)
· Gas & Chemical Systems
· Electrical (power distribution)
· Controls & FCMS (SCADA/PLC)
You do not need expertise in all areas. You only need deep, hands-on experience in at least one discipline and a willingness to coordinate across disciplines. Each team member owns their domain; we collaborate as a group to deliver end-to-end facility solutions.
Weare looking for engineers who want to move beyond siloed roles and become facility engineering specialists – bridging design intent with real-world field execution.
Key Responsibilities
1. In-House Engineering Design (Within Your Discipline)
Depending on your core discipline, you will:
- Perform detailed engineering calculations, drawings, and specifications for your assigned facility systems (e.g., HVAC, water, gas, electrical, or controls)
- Develop, review, and optimize designs for your discipline area within our core fab systems – whether that is ACMV/cleanroom, process utilities, water, gas/chemical, electrical, or controls
- Ensure your designs comply with SEMI standards, local codes, and semiconductor industrial facility benchmarks
2. Multidisciplinary Coordination (As a Team Member)
- Coordinate with colleagues across Mechanical, Electrical, Process, Gas, Controls, and Cleanroom disciplines to eliminate design clashes – each of you bringing your own domain expertise.
- Review subcontractor and vendor detailed designs for technical accuracy, spatial routing, and constructability within your area.
- Participate in technical workshops, 3D model coordination meetings, and formal design reviews.
3. Construction & Subcontractor Interface
· Work closely with subcontractors during construction, installation, and site execution
· Resolve site technical issues, routing conflicts, and design discrepancies under real-world conditions
· Support RFI responses and engineering clarifications within your discipline
· Ensure installation aligns with design intent and commissioning requirements
· Participate in site coordination meetings and progress reviews
4. Commissioning & System Readiness Support
· Ensure your systems are designed with commissioning in mind (proper test points, isolation valves, maintenance accessibility)
· Support FAT/SAT preparation and execution for your systems
· Assist in troubleshooting, system validation, and stabilization during startup
Technical Skills & Experience Requirements
Core Requirements (All Candidates)
· Industry Experience: Proven background in facility engineering or design within a semiconductor fab, cleanroom, or related high-tech industrial environment.
· Domain Expertise: Strong engineering design capability in at least one of the following domains:
- ACMV/HVAC: Chilled water, air handling systems, and cleanroom air balancing.
- Water Systems: UPW production and WWTP engineering.
- Gas Systems: Bulk, toxic, flammable, or specialty gas piping and delivery matrices.
- FCMS & Controls: SCADA/PLC interfaces, instrumentation, and hook-up control signaling.
- Electrical: Power distribution, single-line diagram design/review, and load calculations.
- Electrical: Power distribution, single-line diagram design/review, and load calculations.
· Software Proficiency: Hands-on capability in AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks for design validation and spatial coordination.
· Standards & Commissioning: Working knowledge of SEMI standards and commissioning principles (FAT/SAT, system turnover).
Discipline Note
We are hiring fora team, not a single hybrid role. If you have strong design and field experience in any one of the semiconductor facility disciplines listed above, you are encouraged to apply. Cross-disciplinary knowledge is a plus but not required.
Key Attributes
- Strong construction mindset (not purely office-based engineering)
- Problem solver in real-world site conditions
- Comfortable working with subcontractors and vendors
- Detail-oriented but practical engineering approach
- Able to bridge design intent and field execution
· Team player who collaborates across disciplines
