Wastewater Treatment Engineer

We are seeking a skilled Water Treatment Engineer to support the performance, reliability, and optimization of ultrapure and wastewater treatment systems in a semiconductor manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with reverse osmosis (RO) and ion exchange (IX) systems, strong data analysis skills, and a proven ability to troubleshoot and enhance complex water treatment processes.

Responsibilities:

• Monitor and assess the condition and performance of reverse osmosis membranes and ion exchange resins.
• Analyze operational data (pressure, flow rate, conductivity, recovery rate) to detect degradation, fouling, or scaling.
• Track membrane and resin lifecycles to determine replacement or refurbishment needs.
• Evaluate resin performance to maintain optimal ion-exchange capacity and water quality
• Develop and implement regeneration sequences for ion exchange resins to maximize lifespan and efficiency.
• Adjust maintenance schedules based on system performance data and trends.
• Troubleshoot and optimize chemical dosing and regeneration parameters to minimize downtime and improve reliability.
• Identify and analyze biological, chemical, or particulate fouling sources.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to modify operational parameters or implement pre-treatment strategies.
• Monitor scaling indices and anti-scalant dosing programs; adjust as needed to prevent scaling and maintain system health.
• Analyze operational data and adjust system parameters (pressure, flow, recovery rate) to optimize performance and efficiency.
• Ensure RO and IX units consistently meet ultrapure water quality standards while minimizing energy and chemical use.
• Develop, update, and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure compliance with performance and safety standards.
• Any other duties or responsibilities that may be assigned to you in your role.

Skills Required:

• 5+ years in wastewater or ultrapure water treatment system operations and maintenance engineering.
• Candidates with 1–3 years of engineering experience and strong RO/IX system knowledge will also be considered.
• Semiconductor or high-purity water treatment experience is a plus.
• Strong technical knowledge of reverse osmosis and ion exchange systems.
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to interpret and act on complex system data.

Education / Licenses / Certifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline preferred.
• Proof of education, licenses, and certifications will be required where applicable.

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
• Life, Short-Term, Long-Term Disability Insurance
• Training and Education Assistance
• 401k Retirement Plan
• Extra Annual Leave with Years of Service
• Maternity/Paternity Leave
• Recognition Rewards
