Gas Mixing System Engineer (m/f/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · NexWafe GmbH - TDK Micronas, NexWafe GmbH - Neuer Messplatz

Intro

For our location in Freiburg in Breisgau, we are looking for a Gas Mixing System Engineer (m/f/d).

At NexWafe, we are developing a pioneering process to produce silicon wafers for PV applications with fewer process steps, leading to significant reductions in production costs, energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions.
As a Gas Mixing System Engineer (m/f/d), you will have a unique opportunity to actively contribute to the commercialization of this breakthrough technology by designing, maintaining, and optimizing gas supply systems critical to epitaxial production.
Join our global team, help shape the future of renewable energy, and explore exciting career opportunities at NexWafe!

Your Mission

Ensure the smooth and safe operation of CVD subsystems, including gas supply and off-gas systems, to support high-quality wafer production for the solar industry.
Create P&ID flow diagrams using CAD tools and document processes in line with national and international standards (including Standard Operating procedures, work instructions and maintenance instructions).
Take responsibility for improving CVD subsystems and defining long-term strategies for components and products by working closely with cross-functional teams, external suppliers, and contractors to turn ideas into real-world solutions.
Optimize system uptime through thoughtful design decisions—whether it’s selecting materials, designing for easier cleaning/purging, or planning for quick MFC replacements via bypasses.
Conduct regular checks to ensure gas and system purity, supporting the highest quality standards in production.
While supporting operations at our Freiburg site, you’ll also contribute to the design and development of our future large-scale industrial plant in Bitterfeld.
