Overview We’re looking for a Senior Semiconductor Process Piping Engineer to join our team in either our Melbourne, FL or Tempe, AZ office. Melbourne is located on Florida’s Space Coast, home to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and offers beautiful beaches, quaint downtown shopping, dining and nightlife, and A-rated schools. Tempe is part of the Greater Phoenix metro area and offers a vibrant mix of dining, entertainment, outdoor recreation, and access to one of the nation’s fastest-growing technology and semiconductor hubs. BRPH is a technically focused, creative architecture, design, engineering, construction services, and mission solutions firm providing innovative solutions to mission-driven clients in the aerospace, defense, education, manufacturing, commercial, entertainment, and hospitality market sectors. Founded in 1964, BRPH is consistently ranked among the nation’s top firms and has completed a wide range of projects across the United States and throughout the world. As a Senior Semiconductor Process Piping Engineer, you will lead the design and delivery of piping systems for semiconductor manufacturing and support facilities. This includes (but is not limited to) engineering, sizing, and specification of semiconductor process and utility distribution systems and components such as gas cabinets, valve manifold boxes and panels (VMBs and VMPs), valve panels at tools, automatic and manual changeovers, pressure control stations, regulators, mass flow controllers, control valves, filters and purifiers, vacuum distribution interfaces, pumps, heat exchangers, vaporizers, dryers, separators, knockout tanks, accumulators, surge bottles, pressure relief devices, purge and vent systems, abatement interfaces, distribution headers and manifolds, and tie-ins to vendor skids. It also includes selecting instrumentation and controls such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level instruments, transmitters and switches, gauges, analyzers, leak detection, valve positioners, alarms, and shutdown and interlock devices, and documenting these selections on PFDs, P&IDs, equipment datasheets, and drawings. To be successful in this role, you must be able to translate Owner requirements into design reality and communicate the design through engineering drawings and specifications while following all pertinent codes, client standards, and regulations. Critical thinking and analytical skills are a must. Teamwork and coordination with other disciplines is essential to a complete design. This position also values candidates who have experience building and maintaining client relationships, leading technical discussions, supporting pursuits, and serving as a trusted interface with owners and stakeholders. On a typical day, you will work in CAD programs such as Revit and Inventor for 3D design. AFT Arrow and AFT Fathom are often used for analysis, along with hand calculations. You will also support budget performance, manage team hours, work closely with Project Managers, and serve as the technical interface with clients, leading page turns, design reviews, and participating in client meetings. You will be expected to provide project management and engineering leadership for semiconductor piping design efforts and drive projects to successful delivery. If you’re interested in this role but don’t meet every preferred qualification, we still want to hear from you. We value relevant experience, strong fundamentals, and a willingness to learn. If you’re looking to take your career to the next level, work with a talented team of professionals who love what they do, enjoy a flexible work schedule, and share in the profits of our 100 percent employee-owned firm, BRPH might be a great fit for you.
