- Develop system layouts and detailed designs for gas storage, distribution, and handling systems.
- Prepare and review engineering deliverables including Design Basis Reports (DBR), PFDs, P&IDs, and gas flow calculations.
- Design and validate high-purity gas distribution systems, including SS 316L piping, orbital welding, VMBs, VMPs, and gas cabinets.
- Ensure system compliance with purity, pressure, flow, redundancy, and uptime requirements.
- Lead engineering of specialty gases (silane, ammonia, chlorine, fluorinated gases) and bulk gases (N₂, O₂, Ar, H₂).
- Develop and implement gas safety systems, including gas detection, leak detection, and emergency shutdown (ESD) systems.
- Ensure safe design practices for toxic, flammable, and pyrophoric gases, including hazardous area classification.
- Participate in HAZOP, SIL (Safety Integrity Level), and risk assessments to identify and mitigate safety risks.
- Coordinate with cleanroom, process, mechanical, electrical, and HVAC teams for integrated system design.
- Ensure seamless integration with tool hook-ups, exhaust systems, scrubbing, and abatement systems.
- Review vendor designs, technical submittals, and equipment specifications for compliance and suitability.
- Support technical bid evaluations, procurement activities, and vendor selection.
- Ensure compliance with local statutory requirements and safety regulations (including PESO norms).
- Provide technical support during construction, installation, commissioning, and system validation.
- Review method statements and validate gas purity, leak integrity, and overall system performance.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects.
