What To Expect
We are building Terafab — a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at an unprecedented scale. Logic, memory, packaging, test, and lithography mask production in one facility optimized for quick iteration and factory density of compute produced.

As a Facilities Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, construct, and commission the physical environment that enables 2nm-class chip manufacturing — ultra-pure water, bulk gas, chemical distribution, vibration isolation, and environmental control. This is a ground-up greenfield build, and you will own it from concept through commissioning at one of the most ambitious fab programs in the world.

What You'll Do

  • Lead design and specification of fab environments and infrastructure, challenging industry norms to achieve the fastest and best overall outcome
  • Own technical scope for critical utility systems: UPW, process gases, chemical distribution, exhaust treatment, and waste systems
  • Partner with construction management and equipment vendors to develop and execute facility build plans
  • Establish environmental monitoring systems including AMC, vibration, temperature, humidity, and particle counts
  • Define commissioning and qualification protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ) for all critical facility systems
  • Develop facility capacity models to support tool installation schedules and production ramp planning
  • Drive risk identification and mitigation for facility-level single points of failure
  • Coordinate permitting, EHS compliance, and regulatory requirements with local and state agencies


  • What You'll Bring

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
  • 8 years of semiconductor facility engineering experience, including cleanroom design and construction
  • Deep expertise in at least two critical utility areas: UPW, process gases, HVAC/ECS, chemical distribution, or exhaust/abatement
  • Experience managing large capital projects ($100M ) from concept through commissioning
  • Familiarity with SMIF/FOUP-based automation and overhead transport (OHT) infrastructure requirements
  • Strong understanding of vibration isolation requirements for advanced lithography tools (EUV-class)
  • Experience with a greenfield fab build at 300mm
  • Familiarity with SEMI S2/S8 safety standards and AHJ requirements in Texas
  • Experience with BIM tools (Revit, Navisworks) for facility coordination
  • Background in sustainability and energy efficiency for large-scale manufacturing facilities
