We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connects\nAbout our technology\nThe semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude\nIn short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solution\nThe Role\nWe are seeking an experienced Principal Facilities Engineer (f/m/d) at Black Semiconductor to provide senior-level technical leadership in the design, modification, and commissioning of semiconductor manufacturing facility infrastructure. You will play a key role in bridging front-end design intent with construction execution, commissioning, and operational readiness, ensuring that facility infrastructure meets the requirements of our semiconductor manufacturing operations.\nTo join our team, you should be excited to\nLead the design, review, and validation of mechanical, electrical, and civil/structural systems for semiconductor manufacturing facilities.\n\nDevelop utility matrices, P&IDs, and single-line diagrams for equipment installations and tool hookups.\n\nCoordinate with EPC contractors, A/E firms, and equipment OEMs to ensure design intent is met.\n\nSupport technology migrations, new tool installations, and brownfield modifications.\n\nDevelop detailed cost models and capital expenditure estimates for facility projects.\n\nProvide technical direction and mentorship to junior and senior engineers.\n\nYour Qualifications\nAt least 10 years of experience in semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, or mission-critical facility design, including a minimum of 5 years in a principal or senior technical leadership role.\n\nStrong knowledge of mechanical and electrical plant systems, including low- and medium-voltage (LV/MV) systems, transformers, HVAC, exhaust systems, scrubbers, compressors, and cleanrooms.\n\nStrong leadership skills, with the ability to provide technical direction and mentorship to engineers.\n\nFluent in both English and German, with excellent communication skills.\n\nBasic knowledge of AutoCAD and Navisworks.\n\nProficiency in reading and preparing technical schematics, performing engineering calculations, interpreting blueprints, and understanding BMS software.\n\nExperience in engineering project budget preparation, budget control, and energy cost evaluation and control.\n\nExperience with FMEA and resilient design.\n\nProfessional registration with a recognized engineering body will be considered a plus.\n\nOur work culture\nPeople Over Processes. At Black Semiconductor, flexibility is key-we ensure work adapts to life, not the other way around. We champion work-life harmony, where careers are meaningful and enriching. Our processes are human-centric, allowing you to focus on what matters\nLet’s grow together. Your potential is our priority.
