Join ESMC and become part of a once-in-a-generation greenfield project in Dresden. As a Senior Chemical Systems Engineer, you will take technical ownership of the chemical distribution infrastructure that enables stable semiconductor manufacturing.

Rather than developing chemical products, you will ensure the safe, reliable and uninterrupted supply of specialty chemicals through highly automated distribution systems. Working closely with global engineering teams, technicians and external partners, you will optimize system performance, solve complex technical challenges and help build the operational standards for our new 300 mm semiconductor fab.

Job Responsibilities

• Own critical chemical infrastructure: Take technical ownership of our Chemical Distribution Systems (CDS), Gas Distribution Systems (GDS), Slurry Distribution Systems (SDS) and other chemical utility systems that support semiconductor production.
• Ensure reliable plant operation: Maintain safe, reliable and uninterrupted operation of critical chemical supply systems while ensuring compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations.
• Solve complex engineering challenges: Lead troubleshooting activities, perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and implement sustainable corrective actions to improve long-term system reliability.
• Drive continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to increase system availability, improve operational performance and optimize maintenance strategies through data-driven engineering.
• Support expansion projects: Contribute to the design, construction, commissioning and start-up of new chemical distribution systems and facility upgrades.
• Define engineering standards: Develop and improve preventive maintenance concepts, operating procedures, technical documentation, training materials and engineering standards.
• Coach and support technical teams: Provide technical guidance to technicians and junior engineers while promoting knowledge sharing across multidisciplinary teams.
  
  

Job Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or a comparable technical discipline
• Several years of experience operating, maintaining or engineering complex chemical process or utility systems within industrial environments
