Mechanical/Chemical Engineer

Intel Ireland is a high-volume manufacturing memory fab working on leading-edge products. Operate and maintain water systems including ultrapure water (UPW). Own safety, quality, cost-effective output, environmental compliance, capacity management, forecasting, sampling, and analysis of these water systems. Troubleshoot industrial water and chemical-related issues that can impact water quality across any water systems including reverse osmosis (RO), ion exchange, ultrafiltration, UV, wastewater, and heat exchangers. Serve as a water analysis/sampling subject matter expert and technical expert to facilities systems engineers and operators. Provide expert interpretation of analytical instruments to determine quality and health of water including ion chromatography, differential microbial analysis (DMA), and particle size and count. Manage water laboratories and technicians, ensure calibration of equipment is up to date, and manage lab inventory and consumables. Work and coordinate with water and third-party analytical laboratories to sample, ship, and obtain results of collected samples. Prepare technical reports to present to a wide array of audiences both technical and nontechnical about the initiatives and performance of the water treatment division. Manage sampling and analysis budget and optimize for cost savings and avoidance opportunities. Implement novel analysis and new methods to improve result accuracy, turnaround times, and cost. Write and review standard operating procedures relating to water sampling and analysis.
