About The Position

This role exists to design, improve, and scale the systems that manufacture and distribute ultra-high purity electronic and specialty gasses, the invisible infrastructure behind semiconductors and advanced technology. The Senior Process Engineer leads from the front of design. Starting with a blank page, this leader defines system architecture, drives technical decisions, ensures regulatory compliance, and carries projects through commissioning and plant startup. This is not maintenance engineering. This is engineering ownership from concept to operational turnover inside a highly specialized, high-consequence manufacturing environment. Commander’s Intent Build safe, scalable, and technically sound gas systems that support plant operations, enable growth, and protect customers. Success means: Systems start up correctly. Safety and regulatory compliance are uncompromised. Projects are delivered with technical rigor and cross-functional alignment. Plant operations trust the engineering behind what they run. Semiconductors and specialty gasses power the modern world. Behind every advanced chip is a network of purification systems, distillation columns, and process controls operating at extreme standards of precision. This engineer ensures those systems are safe, compliant, efficient, and future-ready. If you are driven by technical ownership, disciplined problem solving, and the responsibility that comes with high-consequence systems, this role aligns with your mission.
