Job Description
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer with specialized expertise in commissioning, project execution and operational readiness within a high-demand semiconductor manufacturing environment. This critical role ensures the seamless integration of new and upgraded electrical systems - from design validation through energization - while maintaining uninterrupted fabrication operations. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with medium-voltage electrical systems up to 12,000 V and a proven track record of executing complex projects safely and efficiently.
Key Responsibilities:
• Commissioning & Startup Leadership:• Lead commissioning for facility upgrades, expansions and new tool installations.
• Develop commissioning plans and validation protocols for performance, functionality and compliance with design and operational requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues to ensure timely energization and successful system handoff.
• Project Execution & Documentation:• Author, review and approve electrical project scopes of work (SOWs) and switching/LOTO schedules for outages, tie-ins and energizations.
• Create and maintain SOPs, maintenance procedures and emergency response plans aligned with industry best practices.
• Manage electrical change orders, submittals and RFIs during project execution.
• Facility Upgrades & Tool Installation:• Provide electrical engineering support across the project lifecycle, including new fab construction, expansions and tool installations.
• Ensure designs comply with NEC, SEMI standards, corporate specifications and power quality requirements for sensitive equipment.
• Validate voltage, current, grounding and harmonic performance for new tool hook-ups.
• Power System Reliability & Safety:• Apply load-shedding and restoration strategies to minimize risk during planned outages and unplanned events.
• Champion electrical safety, particularly during medium-voltage (up to 12 kV) energization and maintenance.
• Maintain compliance with NFPA 70E, OSHA and NFPA 70B standards.
• Ability to read single-line drawings.
• Develop and implement robust LOTO procedures for complex multi-sourced and medium-voltage systems.
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation and participate in electrical incident.
