About The Position

Help Build the Future of American Semiconductor Manufacturing — Safely. The U.S. semiconductor industry is undergoing a generational transformation, and the largest semiconductor project on the East Coast is happening right now in Syracuse, NY. This isn't a maintenance role at a legacy facility. This is ground -floor process safety work on a cutting -edge fab build — the kind of project that defines careers. As a Process Safety Engineer, you'll be embedded in a high -caliber team of engineers, industrial hygienists, and safety professionals, driving the development and execution of a world -class Process Safety Management program from the inside out. If you thrive in technically complex environments and want your work to matter at scale, this is the opportunity.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor or high -tech manufacturing environments
• Proficiency reading and interpreting P&IDs, schematics, and technical documentation
• Working knowledge of RBPS, OSHA 1910.119, EPA 40 CFR Part 68, and semiconductor -specific safety standards
• Strong communication and analytical skills with demonstrated ability to lead cross -functional safety initiatives
• Must relocate to Syracuse, NY 13215 prior to start date

Nice To Haves

• Hands -on PSM experience including PHA facilitation, MOC management, and incident investigation
• Deep understanding of chemical hazards specific to semiconductor manufacturing and proven mitigation strategies
• Professional certification in process safety or a related discipline — CSP, CIH, or ASP a strong plus
• Experience managing safety documentation systems and leading continuous improvement through audits and metrics
• Integrity -driven decision -making with a genuine, demonstrated commitment to employee health and safety

Responsibilities

• Lead core PSM elements — Drive Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Management of Change (MOC), and Incident Investigation processes with precision and accountability.
• Own design safety reviews — Conduct detailed reviews of new fabrication tools, systems, and chemical processes to ensure every build meets compliance and performance standards before it goes live.
• Evaluate change impacts — Assess equipment, procedure, and process changes for safety risk and deliver clear, actionable mitigation strategies.
• Facilitate hazard analysis — Lead HAZOP, FMEA, and What -If sessions that identify risk before it becomes incident.
• Support technology transfers — Prepare Safety Release Documents (SRDs), flammability studies, and hazard analyses to move new processes safely through the pipeline.
• Track what matters — Monitor and report critical PSM performance metrics and drive closure of findings from reviews and investigations.
• Maintain the paper trail — Keep process safety documentation — vendor bulletins, install packages, compliance records — accurate, current, and audit -ready.
• Build safety culture — Show up in training sessions, audits, and continuous improvement initiatives as a visible advocate for doing things the right way.

Benefits

• Work on a landmark project at the forefront of U.S. semiconductor infrastructure investment
• Relocation assistance provided — we'll help you get to Syracuse and get started
• Join a technically elite team where your expertise shapes program direction, not just execution
• Gain rare, career -defining experience at the intersection of OSHA PSM, EPA RMP, and advanced semiconductor manufacturing
• A role with real visibility, real responsibility, and real impact
