Associate Process Technology Engineer

• Lead Process Technology Development:

• Direct and oversee process technology initiatives for Fujifilm’s ultrapure solvents (UPS), focusing on advanced purification techniques such as nano-filtration and distillation. Ensure these processes are effectively documented and promoted.
• Guide New Product Development (NPD) and Continuous Improvement (CIP):

• Manage projects from pilot scale through to high-volume manufacturing (HVM), ensuring smooth transitions and scalability.
• Align Raw Materials and Strategic Sourcing:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including business/sales, procurement, engineering, manufacturing, and R&D—to ensure raw materials and sourcing strategies align with PCS/SQC objectives.
• Set Packaging Standards:

• Establish and document specifications for next-generation product packaging, including a detailed evaluation of materials of construction and their impact on finished product quality. Provide recommendations for future needs based on data-driven analysis.
• Coordinate with Customers and Suppliers:

• Collaborate with strategic customers and suppliers to develop and implement mutually beneficial Process Technology roadmaps for FEUS.
• Process Simulation and Modeling:

• Conduct process simulation modeling prior to pilot distillation and scaling to full production. Emphasize optimizing the total cost of ownership for ultrapure solvents.
• Contribute to the Global Process Technology team:

• Be an integral member of the UPS Process Technology team to support the development of best-in-class product purity and quality, minimizing quality incidents while enhancing FFEM’s overall value proposition.
• Establish advanced product and process development protocols:

• Develop and refine product and process characterization protocols that meet PCS and STC requirements for next-generation customer demands.
• Execute design of experiments (DOE):

• Design and conduct experiments to fully understand the effects of raw materials and process variables on finished product quality. Analyze results to refine experimental approaches and support successful product introductions.
• Contribute to process control Technology:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust process control technologies for measurable process and analytical chemical parameters, both in-house and at supplier locations.
• Research and implement advanced process technologies:

• Investigate and integrate new process technologies—such as filtration, distillation, and ion exchange and in-situ metrology to ensure Fujifilm adopts and utilizes state-of-the-art advancements.

• The position requires a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering (an advanced degree is preferred) and at least 9 years of experience in ultrapure electronic-grade chemicals, chemical purification processes, engineering, scale-up, and production roles. Other engineering disciplines will be considered based on experience with technology development and the manufacturing of ultrapure, electronic grade chemicals.
• Candidate must have demonstrated significant hands-on contributions to product characterization and the scale-up of new products.
• The candidate must possess subject matter expertise in process simulation and pilot production, with a specific focus on advanced purification techniques, including distillation and filtration. Additionally, strong engineering skills are required, with a thorough understanding of Six Sigma quality principles, Design of Experiments (DOE), Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), problem-solving techniques, and statistical methods.
• The ability to document engineering projects and experimental designs in a structured, disciplined manner is essential, as are excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively interact with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• A strong background in project management is critical for this role, ensuring projects are executed successfully, milestones are met, and objectives are achieved.
• The candidate must be capable of addressing complex problems with logical and effective solutions while advancing team goals.
• The position requires a proactive and adaptable professional who can quickly learn and align with the organization’s mindset and structure, all while responding to evolving customer requirements. A high-energy individual who can work both independently and collaboratively is ideal for this position.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 25% of the time.
• Candidate must be a clear and strategic thinker capable of independently pursuing goals while ensuring alignment with team objectives and broader organizational strategies.
