Mechanical QA / QC Engineer
Project Overview
Provide on-site mechanical QA / QC in an already-operational fab, supporting tool installs, sustaining projects, bay conversions, and shutdown / turnaround windows. Systems include cleanroom HVAC, PCW / CHW / glycol, CDA / vacuum, exhaust / abatement, and mechanical interfaces to bulk / specialty gas, UPW / WWT, and tool hook-ups. Focus is on quality, compliance, and safe execution in a live production environment.
Day-to-Day
- Execute Inspection & Test Plans (ITPs), QA checklists, and hold points during retrofits and tool tie-ins; perform field inspections and document results.
- Review submittals / RFIs, redlines, and BIM / As-builts; verify equipment / model / serial alignment with specs and owner standards.
- Witness / verify hydro / helium leak tests, pressure tests, TAB / airflow results, insulation / labeling, and rotation / flow direction on pumps / fans.
- Validate tool utility matrices and mechanical hook-ups; confirm interlocks and safeties are reflected in BMS / SCADA points and alarms.
- Track and drive closure of NCRs / COs, corrective actions, and punch items with GC / trades; keep turnover documentation audit-ready.
- Support startup / commissioning (FAT / SAT / functional testing), MOP / LOTO reviews, and handover packages (O&M, PSSR, as-builts).
- Coordinate daily with GC / EPC, trades, Facilities Ops, Tool OEMs, and EHS; prep for AHJ inspections; work within production-safe access constraints.
