Microns Global Environmental Health Safety and Sustainability (EHSS) team partners across sites and functions to ensure responsible compliant and sustainable operations worldwide. The team supports design construction and operational readiness for new and existing facilities enabling safe and environmentally sound expansion of Microns global manufacturing footprint.

As a Principal Engineer in Environmental Engineering you will lead integration across global capital projects including greenfield builds brownfield expansions major facility retrofits ensuring environmental compliance requirements are embedded throughout facility planning design construction and startup. The role spans key environmental domains including air water and waste and influences complex large-scale capital projects by embedding environmental requirements into early-stage design decisions minimizing downstream risk and rework. It also leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance environmental compliance and engineering outcomes. This role supports Micron operations globally and requires periodic domestic and international travel.

Responsibilities
Lead integration of environmental compliance requirements into the design and execution of facility systems supporting global fab expansion projects (e.g. exhaust/abatement water/wastewater chemical delivery and waste systems)
Partner with internal teams including Global EHSS Global Facilities and site EHSS teams to incorporate environmental requirements into early project design and engineering decisions
Define and support implementation of global environmental design standards specifications and system performance expectations in alignment with Facilities engineering standards and best-known methods (BKMs)
Provide subject matter expertise on environmental control technologies (e.g. abatement wastewater treatment chemical delivery hazardous waste systems) and ensure alignment during design construction and startup
Identify environmental compliance design risks impacting system performance permitting or operability and drive cross-functional mitigation strategies with project design teams
Participate in design reviews and engineering change processes leveraging AI-enabled tools and analytics to ensure environmental requirements are incorporated into system design decisions and trade-offs
Incorporate lessons learned from site operations startup and compliance into continuous improvement of environmental design requirements and standards

Minimum Qualifications
Bachelors degree in engineering environmental science or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience
10 years of experience in environmental engineering compliance or facilities within semiconductor manufacturing or related industries
Demonstrated experience interfacing with engineering design teams and influencing facility or infrastructure system design decisions
Experience supporting greenfield or expansion projects with environmental requirements integration across multiple domains (air water waste)
Working knowledge of environmental regulations and permitting processes
Ability to work effectively across global teams and influence stakeholders in a matrixed organization

Preferred Qualifications
Advanced degree in Engineering Environmental Science or related field
Experience working with or within Facilities engineering disciplines (mechanical process utilities or controls) in semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing environments
Familiarity with facility system design (e.g. exhaust/abatement systems ultrapure water wastewater chemical distribution) and their environmental performance drivers
Familiarity with global environmental regulatory frameworks and multi-site compliance strategies
Experience developing or applying engineering standards or design specifications
Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills
