TL;DR · Product Safety Engineer III

As a Product Safety Engineer 3 within the Global Products Group, you will independently drive product safety activities for semiconductor capital equipment. You will collaborate with design engineering, manufacturing, and field teams to define, implement, and sustain safety requirements throughout the product lifecycle. Your daily responsibilities include performing system-level hazard analysis and risk assessments across electrical, mechanical, chemical, and ergonomic domains while developing maintenance and service procedures. You will ensure compliance by interpreting industry standards such as SEMI S1, S2, S6, S8, S10, S13, S14, CE Marking directives, and NFPA 79. To succeed, you must be able to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings while managing third-party certification assessments. This role solves critical safety challenges in the semiconductor manufacturing industry by ensuring complex equipment meets global regulatory requirements and protects personnel and the environment.

What you'll do

  • Perform system-level hazard analysis and risk assessments to implement mitigation strategies.
  • Interpret industry and regulatory requirements like SEMI S2, CE Marking, and NFPA standards for product compliance.
  • Identify electrical, mechanical, chemical, and ergonomic design risks in collaboration with engineering teams.
  • Influence design reviews to ensure safety requirements are integrated early in the product lifecycle.
  • Resolve safety issues originating from internal reviews, field feedback, and third-party evaluations.
  • Coordinate with third-party certification agencies to manage assessments and close compliance gaps.
  • Develop maintenance and service procedures to ensure safe operation of equipment.
  • Support customer confidence by collaborating with account teams and field organizations on product safety.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5–10 years of experience applying safety standards and hazard analysis in semiconductor capital equipment or similar complex large systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently analyze systems and identify hazards across electrical, mechanical, and chemical domains.
  • Experience working with third-party certification bodies and driving closure of compliance gaps.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and process flow diagrams.
  • Strong communication skills and a hands-on approach to testing, validation, and system evaluation.
  • Experience in semiconductor capital equipment safety (preferred).
  • Knowledge of SEMI S1, S2, S6, S8, S10, S13, S14 guidelines, CE Marking, NFPA 79, and global regulatory requirements (preferred).
