Staff Engineer, Fire Protection

Join a major advanced manufacturing project and take a leading role in developing the fire protection infrastructure for a new, high-volume semiconductor facility. This opportunity offers involvement across the full project lifecycle—from design and construction through commissioning, start-up, and ongoing operations.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with consultants and contractors to ensure fire protection systems meet design requirements and specifications.

• Review drawings, equipment submittals, and construction progress.

• Support commissioning, functional testing, system validation, and facility start-up.

• Oversee fire alarms, sprinklers, suppression systems, clean-agent systems, and life-safety integration.

• Troubleshoot construction and operational issues and implement practical solutions.

• Ensure compliance with NFPA codes, local fire regulations, ISO standards, and corporate safety requirements.

• Support capacity planning, system evaluations, maintenance, inspections, audits, and emergency drills.

• Lead improvement initiatives through capital and operating-expense projects.

• Maintain accurate operating procedures, manuals, and system documentation.

• Provide on-call support within a 24/7 manufacturing environment.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

• At least eight years of fire protection design and operational experience, ideally within semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing.

• Strong knowledge of NFPA codes, life-safety standards, suppression systems, sprinklers, fire alarms, and alarm integration.

• Experience supporting facility design, construction, commissioning, and start-up.

• Ability to interpret fire protection drawings and technical specifications.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office.

• PE license or NICET Fire Protection certification is preferred.

The role initially supports projects in Tempe and Peoria before transitioning primarily to the Peoria facility during operations.
