We are seeking a Layout Designer / Layout Engineer to support the design and coordination of process equipment layouts for semiconductor fabrication and other high tech manufacturing facilities. Working under the direction of senior layout staff and discipline leads, you will help develop practical, code compliant, and constructible layout solutions that support schedule, safety, and quality goals. This role is well suited to someone building technical judgment and coordination skills in an exciting project environment.

• Assist with planning production facilities and equipment layouts, learning to evaluate efficient use of space and process flow design constraints.
• Interpret supplier equipment drawings and requirements; develop tool CAD blocks (2D and/or 3D) or Revit RFAs based on supplier drawings.
• Support development of manufacturing process layouts based on client tool quantities, priorities, and goby information for greenfield and retrofit spaces.
• Assist with design calculations, routing evaluations, and technical assessments for process utilities, support systems, and equipment interfaces, with review by senior staff.
• Prepare drawings, models, and documentation for tool connections, equipment clearances, utility routing, service access, and integration with existing facility systems.
• Support coordination with project managers, discipline leads, vendors, and contractors to help resolve design requirements and interface conflicts.
• Attend design reviews, client meetings, and coordination workshops; capture comments and incorporate feedback into revisions.
• Participate in site walks, verify field conditions, and help identify clashes, interferences, or scope gaps.

• Build working knowledge of National Fire Code and National Electrical Code layout restrictions and requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent layout experience.

• Approximately 2+ years of relevant experience supporting semiconductor, high tech, cleanroom, tool install, or process equipment installation projects; internship or co-op experience considered.

• Working knowledge of, or coursework in, layout philosophies: product line, process layout, cellular manufacturing, densepack vs flexible layouts.

• Interest in and developing understanding of tool hookup design, subfab rack and lateral systems, utility coordination, and facility modification in semiconductor fabrication environments.

• Ability to read and mark up drawings with attention to constructability, safety, and code compliance.

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication with internal teams, vendors, and contractors.

• Exposure to Automated Material Handling systems is a plus.

• Proficient with AutoCAD; exposure to Revit desirable. Organized, with the ability to track multiple assignments, review cycles, and deadlines.

• Willingness to learn, take direction, and follow technical issues through to resolution.

• Salary Range: $70,000 - $100,000/year depending on location, education, depth of relevant experience, and any specialized licensure/certifications. Opportunity for ample rewards, leadership incentive components, and generous bonus opportunities.
