Senior Engineer Lead - Facilities Services

Samsung is a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, founded on the belief that the pursuit of excellence creates a better world. At Samsung Austin Semiconductor, we are Innovating Today to Power the Devices of Tomorrow.

About the role

The T1(Taylor) FS Design Engineering Lead serves as the primary 3D design leader driving the connection between 5D modelers, T1 FS THU internal teams, and external construction vendors. This role ensures that complex utility packages—including bulk gases, ultra-pure water, exhaust, and electrical systems—are spatially coordinated, clash-free, and released on time. The Design Engineering TR translates complex design intent into seamless fab installation.

A primary focus of this role is maintaining design schedule output and maintaining engineering focus through RFI management and field support. Serving as the primary 3D design filter for incoming RFIs and 3D model clashes in Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC), the Design Engineering TR eliminates low-quality submission noise before it reaches the rest of the design team. By managing 3D model coordination, this position ensures trade contractors build strictly off approved models and adhere to Samsung design and construction standards.

Beyond digital coordination, the Design Engineering Lead will spend dedicated time on the fab floor conducting field walks, verifying as-built conditions, and resolving spatial friction in real time alongside trade leads, construction managers, and international expat stakeholders. By aligning design hand-offs directly with construction to meet electrical and mechanical turn-on milestones, this individual serves as a key technical representative who keeps design moving, trade contractors accountable, removes obstacles, and protects overall design quality.

Responsibilities

• Technical leader of S5D design software for tool hook-up.
• Subject matter expert in design-related field issues responsible for RFI closure.
• Solving engineering design hook-up problems using sound engineering principles.
• Manage team of 4-5 engineers and project managers.
• Work with DSK expats to develop and execute design strategy.
• Provide technical ownership of ACC for design communication with internal and external teams.
• Report and communicate 3D design progress.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in an Engineering discipline (Mechanical preferred).
• 10+ years of industry experience, preferably in the semiconductor industry.
• 6+ years of experience with CAD design software, preferably Autodesk Inventor and/or Revit.
• Demonstrated experience working directly on-site alongside trade contractors.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

Pay

The current base salary range for this role is between $113,500 - $151,500.
