CAD Technician

About the role

We are seeking a Facilities CAD Layout Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role is critical in supporting a high-volume semiconductor wafer fabrication environment.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and update detailed facility and tool-install CAD drawings, including cleanroom layouts, utility connections, and infrastructure systems.
• Support fab reconfiguration efforts, including space planning for new equipment, capacity expansions, and facility modifications.
• Develop accurate CAD packages for tool installations, ensuring alignment with safety requirements, building codes, tool P&ID, cleanroom protocols, and fab operational constraints.
• Collaborate with Facilities Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Tool Owners to collect requirements, validate utility needs, and produce properly scoped installation packages.
• Maintain drawing accuracy through rigorous version control, documentation, and coordination with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Participate in design reviews, site walks, and hazard assessments to ensure safe and executable plans.
• Identify layout or infrastructure conflicts early and propose engineered solutions that optimize space and utility routing.
• Support long-term fab layout strategy, capacity planning, and infrastructure roadmap initiatives.
• Communicate layout updates in electronic and paper format to team members.

Requirements

• Proficiency in AutoCAD and CAD standards for industrial or manufacturing environments.
• Strong understanding of facility infrastructure (HVAC, electrical, process utilities, gas, chemical distribution preferred).
• Excellent organization, version control, and documentation skills.
• Strong communication skills; able to work with engineers, tool owners, contractors, and management.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver accurate drawings under tight timelines.
• Willingness to learn fab-specific safety protocols, tool-install procedures, and semiconductor facility workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, cleanroom facilities, or other high-tech industrial environments.
• Associate degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
• Familiarity with tool-install packages, facility routing, and cleanroom space constraints.
• Knowledge of building codes, life-safety considerations, and industrial safety practices.
• Experience with 3D modeling tools — a plus but not required.
