This is more than just a modeling job—it is your gateway to becoming a specialist in Advanced Semiconductor Chemical & Gas Delivery Systems. While you contribute your 1-2 years of site experience, we will provide the platform for you to master the complex logic behind high-purity piping, automated delivery, and international safety codes. You will transition from "building models" to "designing critical infrastructure" for the world's leading tech fabs.

General Responsibilities:

• Architectural & System Modeling: Develop and prepare high-precision 3D architectural and MEP designs using Revit and AutoCAD.
• Integrated Coordination: Collaborate with engineers and PMs to ensure design accuracy, ensuring all process requirements are met.
• Design Evolution: Proactively review and update models to reflect real-time design changes and field adjustments.
• Conflict Resolution: Perform Clash Detection and lead the reporting/solving of spatial discrepancies to ensure a seamless build.
• Team Leadership: Participate in technical meetings and provide progress updates to stakeholders.

Specialized Knowledge & Growth

• P&ID Translation: Read and interpret P&IDs/PFDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) to align 3D models with functional process logic.
• Subcontractor Management: Act as the technical bridge, communicating 3D model requirements to subcontractors for onsite coordination.
• Advanced System Learning: Gain deep-dive knowledge in Chemical Delivery Systems (CDS) and Gas Delivery Systems (BDS) specifically for advanced semiconductor nodes.

Qualification:

• Minimum Associate Degree in a related engineering or architectural field.

Must Have:

• Software Mastery: Proficiency in BIM software (Revit) and AutoCAD.
• Industry Experience: 1–2 years of experience in design-related work, preferably within the semiconductor or high-tech

Nice to Have:

• Process Piping: Experience with specialized materials like CPVC/PFA, SUS/PFA, and SUS/SUS piping design.
• Electrical & Control: Knowledge of Power/Control system design, including Tray, Conduit, and RSG layouts.
• Standards & Codes: Familiarity with NEC or ASME codes is a significant plus.
• Project Context: Previous involvement in Gas/Chemical-related projects.

What You Will Learn & Achieve

• Semiconductor Expertise: Master the design logic of supply systems that power the world's most advanced chip manufacturing.
• Professional Elevation: Move beyond 3D modeling into Digital Engineering, learning how to manage complex data within a BIM environment.
• Cross-Domain Skills: Gain exposure to mechanical, chemical, and electrical integration, making you a highly versatile asset in the global semiconductor talent market.
