Micron is seeking a skilled Waste Treatment Engineer to oversee the third-party design of waste treatment systems for high-tech large-scale semiconductor manufacturing projects. The Waste Treatment Engineer will manage external design firms, ensuring that waste treatment systems, including chemical, liquid, and solid waste management, meet stringent project specifications, environmental regulations, and safety standards. This role requires deep technical expertise in waste treatment processes, strong project management skills, and effective collaboration with multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, efficient, and code compliant systems for Micron's semiconductor manufacturing. This exciting opportunity allows you to collaborate with world-class professionals and implement ambitious waste treatment solutions

The engineer hired for this position will be temporarily assigned to the construction engineering team for a period of at least two years or longer depending on project needs and construction progress. Upon completion of the construction scope, the engineer will be transitioned to the Operations Engineering Group where they will assume responsibilities associated with operational support and sustaining engineering activities.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate third-party design firms in developing waste treatment systems, including chemical neutralization, wastewater treatment, and solid waste handling for hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
• Review and validate third-party design work, such as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards (e.g., EPA, RCRA, Clean Water Act).
• Conduct technical evaluations of third-party designs, verifying performance metrics such as treatment efficiency, chemical compatibility, discharge compliance, and system safety.
• Work with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal collaborators to align waste treatment system designs with facility requirements and project timelines.
• Perform quality assurance and risk assessments on third-party designs, identifying and resolving issues related to regulatory compliance, constructability, or environmental impact.
• Ensure third-party designs integrate seamlessly with other facility systems, such as chemical delivery or Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) systems, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for coordination.
• Coordinate the implementation of safety and environmental protocols for waste treatment systems, ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local laws for hazardous waste management.
• Apply BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to verify design interoperability and ensure operational efficiency.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, or a related field or equivalent experience. Advanced certifications (e.g., PE, Hazardous Waste Operations Certification) are a plus.
• Lead design processes for wastewater, chemical, or solid waste treatment systems for 2+ years.
• Strong knowledge of waste treatment system design, including chemical neutralization, biological treatment, filtration, and hazardous waste disposal for industrial applications.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as EPA's RCRA, Clean Water Act, SEMI S2, and local environmental codes.
• Proficiency in reviewing engineering work, including P&IDs, 3D models, and specifications, using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience coordinating third-party designs for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or industrial facilities with stringent waste treatment requirements.
• Knowledge of balanced design practices, such as water recycling, zero-liquid discharge systems, or waste-to-energy technologies.
• Familiarity with clash detection and design integration processes using BIM tools.
• Ability to mentor internal teams or liaise effectively with external collaborators to ensure design alignment.
• Experience with control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) and BIM workflows for design coordination is highly desirable.
