Together, we push the boundaries of science to make more possible for our customers.\nThis role does not offer sponsorship for work authorization. External applicants must be eligible to work in the US.\nYour Role:\nThe Process Engineer provides day-to-day technical support for blending and chemical manufacturing operations producing CMP slurries and Surface Prep & Cleans (SP&C) products for Tier 1 semiconductor foundries at the Dallas facility. This role executes hands-on troubleshooting, data analysis, and documentation work that supports process reliability, product quality, and continuous improvement objectives, while working closely with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Maintenance teams. The position requires regular presence on the manufacturing floor, direct use of process data systems (SAP, LIMS, SCADA/DCS historian trends), and application of structured problem-solving and statistical tools to support operators, monitor process performance, and drive operational excellence in a high-purity, low-variability manufacturing environment with change control.\nKey Responsibilities:\nManufacturing Support\nProvide daily process engineering support to blending and manufacturing operations, including real-time review of batch records, recipe parameters, and SCADA/DCS process trends (e.g., Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, FactoryTalk, or equivalent control systems).\nSupport operators and production supervisors in resolving process-related issues affecting blending assets, filtration/purification skids, and UPW systems using process flow diagrams (PFDs), P&IDs, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).\nDevelop and monitor process performance dashboards against control limits and operating envelopes; identify opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, and throughput using multivariate SPC charts and OEE metrics.\nParticipate in daily tier meetings and production meetings; communicate process-related performance and investigation updates using visual management boards and shift handover reports.\nProcess Troubleshooting & Investigations\nConduct troubleshooting activities for process deviations, equipment issues, and manufacturing concerns using first-principles chemical engineering (mass/energy balances, reaction and mixing fundamentals) and structured methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone/Ishikawa, A3).\nSupport root cause analysis efforts, applying statistical process control (SPC) and basic multivariate analysis techniques (e.g., Pareto analysis, control charts, Cpk/Ppk calculations) using tools such as JMP, Minitab, or Python.\nAssist with deviation investigations, 8Ds, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) within the site's electronic quality management system (eQMS/QMS).\nCollaborate with Quality, Operations, and Maintenance teams to implement corrective actions and verify effectiveness.\nContinuous Improvement\nIdentify opportunities for waste reduction, yield improvement, cycle time reduction, and process optimization using Lean Manufacturing tools (value stream mapping, 5S, standard work).\nSupport implementation of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma continuous improvement initiatives (DMAIC framework); Green Belt certification or working toward certification is a plus.\nParticipate in Kaizen events and operational excellence projects, quantifying and communicating the business impact of improvements.\nMonitor effectiveness of implemented improvements using statistical trending and communicate results to the site leadership.\nDocumentation & Process Control\nCreate and revise manufacturing procedures, work instructions, batch records, and process and data maps in accordance with GMP-aligned document control practices.\nSupport change control activities and document revisions within the site's change management system.\nMaintain process engineering records, drawings, technical files, P&IDs and process specification sheets defining operating parameters and control limits.\nAssist with development and maintenance of process specifications, recipe management, and operating parameter documentation.\nSupport SAP-related manufacturing data updates, including bill of materials (BOM) and routing reviews, production order execution, and batch record reconciliation as assigned.\nProduct Transfers & Engineering Support\nSupport execution of engineering trials, engineering batches, and product transfer activities for CMP slurry and SP&C formulations.\nCollect and analyze process data during validation, qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), and process capability studies.\nAssist senior engineers with manufacturing readiness assessments and process qualification activities for new product introduction (NPI) and technology transfer projects.\nParticipate in new product introduction and commercialization projects, including scale-up from lab/pilot to full production scale.\nEquipment & Reliability Support\nWork with Maintenance and Operations teams to troubleshoot equipment-related process issues on blending tanks, filtration/purification skids, pumps, and instrumentation.\nAssist with equipment qualification, commissioning, and startup activities, including review of control system logic and instrumentation calibration records.\nSupport process improvements related to equipment performance and reliability, using CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) data to identify recurring failure modes.\nParticipate in preventive maintenance reviews and process optimization initiatives in coordination with Automation and Reliability engineering.\nQuality & Compliance\nAssist with internal and external audit preparation activities for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified manufacturing systems.\nEnsure process documentation remains current and compliant with quality system and change control requirements.\nSupport CAPA implementation and effectiveness checks within the site's eQMS.\nParticipate in risk assessments (e.g., FMEA, PHA/HAZOP) and process safety initiatives.\nGrowth Opportunities\nDevelop expertise in CMP and SP&C processes.\nGain hands-on experience supporting daily production, troubleshooting process issues on the manufacturing floor, and understanding how engineering decisions impact safety, quality, delivery, and cost.\nLead projects from design to execution and sustaining phases.\nWork closely with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and R&D teams, gaining exposure to the broader manufacturing value chain and developing skills needed for future technical and leadership roles.\nLearn digital tools to integrate in production data analytics and automation processes driving the site towards industry 4.0.\nExposure to customer relationship management, and audit programs.\nPhysical Attributes:\nRegular presence in manufacturing
