Requirements

Currently pursuing a undergraduate or graduate degree in Chemical Engineering
Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA or higher

Nice To Haves

Strong interest in semiconductor manufacturing, industrial utility systems, or large-scale facility operations.
Basic understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, or chemical properties.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent communication skills and a desire to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Commitment to safety and operational excellence.

Responsibilities

Gain exposure to high-purity acid, base, and solvent systems (pumped/gas pressured), as well as ultra-pure gases (inert, flammable, corrosive, and pyrophoric).
Learn about critical components such as Chemical Distribution Units (CDUs), Valve Manifold Boxes (VMBs), Gas Cabinets, and Cryogenic Tanks.
Assist in understanding de-ionized and ultrapure water systems, including reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and ultrafiltration processes.
Support the team in reviewing system capacity vs. demand, assisting with troubleshooting, and performing systems assessments to drive improvement roadmaps.
Assist in the development and maintenance of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Participate in reliability-driven tasks such as FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
Support the engineering analysis, design, and installation oversight of chemical and gas distribution systems.
Assist with projects ranging from individual component installations (like a single VMB) to large-scale factory-wide distribution systems.
Learn how to coordinate with diverse engineering disciplines, contractors, and suppliers to ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget.
Assist in reviewing construction documentation (submittals/RFIs) and participate in the commissioning process to ensure equipment performs to design specifications.
Learn the business side of engineering by assisting with project financial tracking, including purchase orders and capital forecasts.
