TL;DR · Product/Equipment Safety Engineer III

As a Product/Equipment 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 ensure safety requirements are defined and sustained throughout the product lifecycle. Your daily responsibilities include performing system-level hazard analysis across electrical, mechanical, chemical, and ergonomic domains while developing maintenance and service procedures. You will interpret and apply critical industry standards and regulatory frameworks, including SEMI S1, S2, S6, S8, S10, S13, S14, CE Marking directives, and NFPA 79. The role involves resolving safety issues from field feedback, participating in design reviews, and interfacing with third-party certification agencies to ensure compliance. You must be able to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings to mitigate risks for complex equipment systems.

What you'll do

  • Perform system-level hazard analyses and risk assessments to drive mitigation strategies.
  • Interpret and apply industry standards like SEMI S2, CE Marking, and NFPA 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 equipment operation and servicing.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5–10 years of experience applying safety standards and hazard analysis in semiconductor capital equipment or similar complex systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently analyze systems and identify hazards across electrical, mechanical, and chemical domains.
  • Experience working with third-party certification bodies to drive the closure of compliance gaps.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and process flow diagrams.
  • Strong communication skills to work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and field teams.
  • Knowledge of SEMI S1, S2, S6, S8, S10, S13, S14 guidelines, CE Marking, and NFPA 79 standards.
  • Experience identifying hazards during maintenance and service activities to ensure safe operation.
