This position will play a critical role in the startup, qualification, and long-term operation of membrane manufacturing processes supporting the semiconductor industry.\nYou will help establish and mature manufacturing operations by partnering with Operations, Engineering, Quality, and technical subject matter experts across Entegris. The role combines process engineering, manufacturing startup, process validation, and quality leadership. You will translate technical knowledge into stable, scalable manufacturing processes while building the procedures, controls, training, and quality-system infrastructure needed for sustained production.\nThis position will coordinate closely with subject matter experts at our i2M sister site and other Entegris locations to support technology transfer, process replication, qualification, troubleshooting, and implementation of manufacturing best practices. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic startup environment, is comfortable working directly with processes and equipment, and can lead complex work across geographically dispersed teams.\nWhat You'll Do\nLead manufacturing startup, process qualification, and operational-readiness activities for UPE membrane manufacturing processes. \nDevelop and execute readiness plans that integrate equipment qualification, process validation, procedure development, training, metrology, material readiness, and process-control implementation. \nProvide hands-on engineering support during commissioning, startup, qualification, scale-up, troubleshooting, and sustained manufacturing. \nPartner with Operations, Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Quality, EHS, and R&D to establish safe, stable, capable, and repeatable manufacturing processes. \nCoordinate remotely and onsite with technical subject matter experts at i2M and other Entegris locations to transfer process knowledge, replicate critical controls, resolve technical issues, and align manufacturing practices. \nAuthor, review, and implement procedures, work instructions, process specifications, control plans, inspection methods, qualification protocols, validation reports, and other QMS documentation. \nLead or support equipment and process qualification activities, including IQ/OQ/PQ, measurement-system analysis, GR&R, process characterization, capability studies, and validation reporting. \nApply engineering fundamentals to membrane-manufacturing operations such as slurry or material preparation, die extrusion, extraction, annealing, thermal processing, web handling, inspection, and downstream converting activities. \nAnalyze manufacturing and quality data using statistical methods to identify sources of variation and improve yield, throughput, capability, reliability, and cost. \nLead structured problem solving and corrective actions using root cause analysis, risk assessment, DOE, SPC, and continuous-improvement methodologies. \nSupport technology transfers and new product introductions from development through qualified commercial manufacturing. \nAssess process changes and ensure appropriate change management, validation, documentation, training, and customer or regulatory requirements are addressed. \nCommunicate technical risks, qualification status, investigation results, and project progress to leadership, cross-functional teams, customers, and auditors. \nServe as a technical leader and mentor, influencing cross-functional decisions and helping establish a culture of disciplined execution and manufacturing excellence. \nWhat We Seek\nMinimum Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Polymer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Chemistry, or a related technical discipline. \nMinimum of 8 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree; 6 years with a master's degree; or equivalent work experience. \nExperience in manufacturing process development, process engineering, process validation, equipment qualification, technology transfer, or manufacturing startup. \nDemonstrated success leading complex, cross-functional technical projects in a manufacturing environment. \nExperience writing and implementing technical procedures, work instructions, qualification protocols, validation reports, control plans, or other QMS documentation. \nStrong knowledge of root cause analysis, risk assessment, statistical methods, process capability, and continuous improvement. \nAbility to work independently, establish technical approaches, and drive execution in an evolving manufacturing environment. \nAbility to coordinate effectively with remote subject matter experts and translate technical knowledge into clear, executable manufacturing requirements. \nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to influence technical and business stakeholders at multiple levels. \nProficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Project, and with statistical software such as Minitab or JMP. \nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with membrane manufacturing, filtration products, polymer processing, advanced materials, specialty chemicals, battery separator film, nonwovens, or a related continuous-process industry. \nKnowledge of membrane or polymer-processing operations such as slurry or solution preparation, die extrusion, casting, phase inversion, extraction, annealing, stretching, pore formation, thermal processing, or web handling. \nExperience supporting greenfield manufacturing, manufacturing scale-up, process replication, or transfer from development to commercial production. \nExperience with continuous or roll-to-roll manufacturing processes. \nExperience designing and executing DOE, process characterization, SPC, process capability, validation, and measurement-system studies. \nExperience with SAP, camLine, EtQ, or comparable manufacturing and quality systems. \nSix Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification. \nSuccess in This Role\nYou balance strategic system development with hands-on execution on the manufacturing floor. \nYou create structure where processes, procedures, and responsibilities are still maturing. \nYou build productive working relationships across functions, sites, and time zones. \nYou use data and disciplined problem solving to convert technical uncertainty into robust controls. \nYou take ownership, communicate risks early, and deliver sustainable solutions rather than temporary fixes. \nWork Conditions & Physical Requirements\nEnvironmental / Work Conditions\nPersonal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety eyewear on the manufacturing floor and cleanroom garments where required.
