Dry Mechanical Design Engineer

Oversee third-party design firms in the development of dry mechanical systems. These systems may include process exhaust (e.g., acid, ammonia, VOC and others) including the scrubbers and abatement equipment, HVAC systems ranging from comfort cooling to clean room make-up air handling and all aspects of clean room design. Review and validate third-party design deliverables, such as piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications, and system layouts, ensuring compliance with project requirements and standards. Conduct technical evaluations of third-party designs, verifying performance metrics such as flow rates, pressure, thermal efficiency, and system reliability. Collaborate with external design teams, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders to align dry mechanical system designs with facility requirements and project timelines. Perform quality assurance and risk assessments on third-party designs, identifying and resolving issues related to constructability, efficiency, or compliance with building codes and regulations. Ensure third-party designs integrate seamlessly with other facility systems, such as Chilled Water (UPW), chemical systems, or gas systems, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools for coordination. Oversee the implementation of safety and regulatory protocols for dry mechanical systems, ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and local codes (e.g., International Fire Code, International Mechanical Code). Support commissioning and testing phases by reviewing third-party design performance and coordinating with vendors for equipment validation and system startup. Utilize BIM tools (e.g., Revit, Navisworks) and control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) to verify design interoperability and ensure operational efficiency. Provide technical guidance to third-party designers, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and advancements in wet mechanical system technologies. Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, or a related field. Advanced certifications (e.g., PE, LEED AP, CPD) are a plus. Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in dry mechanical engineering, with at least 2 years overseeing third-party design or managing design processes for clean room HVAC systems, HVAC hydronic, or process exhaust systems. Strong knowledge of Dry mechanical system design, including Clean Room HVAC systems (Make-up Air Handling, Fan Filter Units or pressurized plenum, and sensible cooling coils), and process exhaust for semiconductor manufacturing applications in industrial or high-tech facilities. Familiarity with industry standards and regulations, such as AHRI (Air-conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute), SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association), IMC (International Mechanical Code), and ASHRAE standards. Proficiency in reviewing engineering deliverables, including P&IDs, 3D models, and specifications, using tools like AutoCAD, Revit, or Navisworks. Experience overseeing third-party designs for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, or data center facilities with stringent wet mechanical system requirements. Knowledge of sustainable design practices, such as water conservation, energy-efficient hydronic systems, and compliance with IECC (International Energy Conservation Code). Experience with control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA) and BIM workflows for design coordination is highly desirable. Familiarity with clash detection and design integration processes using BIM tools. Ability to mentor internal teams or liaise effectively with external stakeholders to ensure design alignment.
