Job Summary

Senior fluids systems engineer responsible for designing, building, and optimizing fluid delivery and control systems for gases, chemicals, and exhaust in a high-volume solar cell manufacturing environment. You’ll own cradle-to-grave projects, ensure regulatory compliance, and collaborate with process engineers to integrate fluid systems with manufacturing equipment for reliable, scalable production.

Location: United States

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: IT Operations (Systems/Network Admin)

Seniority: Sr. Manager level

Key Responsibilities

•Design, build, and activate fluids systems for the distribution of key gases, chemicals, and exhaust systems used in solar cell processes, including tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, gas panels, valves, scrubbers, and abatement systems
•Cradle-to-grave project ownership including requirement definition, design, justification of key decisions, equipment procurement, build coordination, commissioning and project management throughout
•Design modular systems capable of being manufactured at scale for future solar production facilities
•Apply fluids/mechanical engineering skills such as P&ID development, equipment sizing, detailed fluid and thermal analysis, system-level CONOP development, structural analysis, materials and component selection
•Perform safety/hazard assessments (e.g., FMEAs, HAZOPs) to ensure appropriate hazardous system design, including emergency shutdown CONOPs, redundancy, and general compliance with hazardous material safety standards

Key Requirements

•Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, or other engineering discipline
•5+ years of professional fluids systems design experience
•Experience with design of fluid/gas systems in manufacturing or semiconductor environments
