Specialty Gas Engineer

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. The US Construction Engineering department is responsible for the design and construction efforts for high-tech, large-scale projects for Micron in the US. Current high-profile projects include the design and construction of two high-volume manufacturing fabs in Boise, ID1 and ID2, and a third fab in Clay, New York. Micron is seeking a highly skilled Specialty Gas Engineer to lead the design and integration of specialty gas systems for advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This role centers on managing third-party design firms to ensure gas delivery systemshandling toxic, pyrophoric, corrosive, and inert gasesmeet meticulous safety, performance, and regulatory standards. The engineer will be embedded within the construction engineering team for at least two years, focusing on design oversight, field coordination, and commissioning, before transitioning to the Operations Engineering Group to support ongoing system optimization and fixing.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate third-party design firms in the development of specialty gas systems, including bulk gas, VMB/VMP layouts, and point-of-use delivery for hazardous and non-hazardous gases.
• Review and verify design work such as P&IDs, gas panel schematics, equipment specifications, and system routing to ensure compliance with project requirements and codes (e.g., SEMI S2, NFPA 55, CGA).
• Conduct technical evaluations of gas system designs, verifying flow capacity, pressure control, material compatibility, and leak integrity.
• Coordinate with internal collaborators, construction teams, and vendors to ensure seamless integration of gas systems with other facility utilities (e.g., process tools, exhaust, and life safety systems).
• Perform constructability reviews, risk assessments, and QA/QC checks on third-party designs to identify and resolve issues related to safety, code compliance, or operational performance.
• Support commissioning and startup activities by reviewing test protocols, verifying system performance, and coordinating with vendors for equipment validation.
• Apply BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to ensure design coordination and operational readiness.
• Provide technical guidance to design firms and internal teams, ensuring alignment with guidelines in specialty gas handling and delivery.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Advanced certifications (e.g., PE, GAWDA, or hazardous gas safety training) are a plus.
• 35 years of experience in specialty gas engineering, with at least 2 years coordinating third-party design or handling gas system projects in high-purity industrial, pharmaceutical, or semiconductor environments.
• Strong knowledge of gas delivery system design, including pressure regulation, gas cabinet/panel design, and hazardous gas monitoring.
• Familiarity with applicable codes and standards such as SEMI S2/S6, NFPA 55/70, CGA guidelines, and local fire codes.
• Proficiency in reviewing engineering work using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks.

Preferred Skills

• Knowledge of advanced gas technologies such as automatic changeover systems, gas blending, or toxic gas abatement.
• Familiarity with BIM-based clash detection and design integration processes.
• Ability to mentor engineers and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
