Lead Commissioning Engineer (Lead Cx Engineer - Semiconductor Fabs)Discipline: LSS / Security (Life Safety Systems & Security Systems)

Role Overview The Lead Commissioning Engineer - LSS/Security is responsible for the hands-on execution and coordination of commissioning activities for life safety and security systems within semiconductor fabrication facilities. This role ensures that all fire protection, life safety, and security systems are fully integrated, compliant, and operational, supporting safe and secure fab operations.

Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Commissioning Execution

Lead commissioning of LSS & Security systems including:

Fire Detection & Alarm Systems (FDAS)
Gas detection systems and emergency shutdown interfaces
Public Address / Voice Evacuation (PAVA) systems
Access control systems and biometric systems
CCTV and video surveillance systems
Intrusion detection and perimeter security systems

Support commissioning of:

Process tools and tool hook-up verification (safety interlocks)
Cleanroom safety monitoring systems

Execute and review:

Commissioning procedures and test scripts
FAT/SAT protocols for LSS and security systems
Cause & effect testing, integrated system testing (IST), and performance validation

System Integration

Ensure alignment between:

LSS/Security systems and building infrastructure
Fire and gas systems with HVAC shutdown and process interlocks
Access control and CCTV systems with central monitoring platforms
Integration with automation systems (BMS, SCADA, MES interfaces where applicable)

Verify:

Alarm sequences, safety interlocks, and emergency responses
Cross-system integration (electrical, mechanical, process systems)

Identify and resolve interface issues across disciplines

Coordination & Supervision

Coordinate with:

LSS and security system vendors and integrators
Fire protection contractors and safety consultants
Electrical, mechanical, controls, and process engineering teams

Support Commissioning Manager in:

Schedule tracking and commissioning execution
Issue resolution and risk identification
Reporting progress and system readiness

Supervise junior engineers, technicians, and testing teams

Quality & Compliance

Ensure systems meet:
