Job description

Role Title: Process Engineer - Glass

Role Purpose: Process Improvement Projects

Lead Process Engineering

What the role entails

(Key Responsibilities)

• Project End-to-End Ownership: Lead process improvement initiatives independently taking full ownership from initial problem definition and trial execution through to final validation and tangible benefit delivery.
• Technical Problem-Solving Approach: Apply structured technical problem-solving methodologies (e.g., DMAIC, 8D, Root Cause Analysis) alongside Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Six Sigma to systematically diagnose complex process variations and engineer permanent corrective actions.
• Operational Troubleshooting: Provide technical support to operations teams to rapidly resolve real-time chemical process anomalies and minimize operational downtime.
• Process & Cost Optimization: Identify and execute high-impact opportunities to reduce cycle times, minimize raw material waste (e.g., silicon tetrachloride, germanium tetrachloride), and optimize energy consumption across high-temperature furnaces and chemical delivery systems.
• Management of Change (MOC): Lead the MOC process for all process modifications, equipment upgrades, and raw material substitutions, ensuring zero disruption to ongoing operations.
• Qualification Trials & Validation: Plan, execute, and document technical qualification trials for new process parameters or equipment components, defining clear success criteria and validation protocols.
• Process Documentation & Standardization: Author, update, and standardize Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) following process modifications.
• Risk Assessment & Safety: Conduct thorough risk assessments, including Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), prior to implementing operational changes.

What we are looking for in you

(Skills, Knowledge, Special Attributes, Mobility)

• Data Analytics & SPC: Proficiency in data analytics, statistical tool sets, and process capability analysis.
• Independent & Team Execution: Proven ability to lead process improvement projects independently till benefits are fully realized.
• Technical Problem Solving: Strong analytical mindset with a structured, engineering-first approach to complex technical troubleshooting.
• Domain Expertise: Direct experience with gas delivery systems, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) concepts, or vitrification/sintering processes is highly desirable
• Project Management: Strong organizational skills to manage multiple process improvement projects simultaneously from conception to standard production.
