In Penang, Malaysia, a hub of technological excellence in Southeast Asia, Analog Devices is expanding its operations, seeking a Senior Engineer, Environmental Health & Safety to champion safety standards in a high-tech manufacturing environment.
This role is pivotal in ensuring that Analog Devices' Penang facility not only complies with stringent international standards like ISO 45001 but also fosters a proactive safety culture.

As a Senior Engineer, you'll implement Safety and Industrial Hygiene (S&IH) programs, conduct risk assessments, and lead emergency preparedness, all while contributing to sustainable practices that align with Analog Devices' commitment to environmental responsibility.
The position demands a blend of technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and leadership. Holding a Green Book as a registered Safety Officer with the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) is essential, positioning you as a key liaison with authorities. Whether preparing for audits, investigating incidents, or training Emergency Response Teams, your work directly safeguards lives and operations in a facility producing cutting-edge semiconductors.
A Day in the Life of a Senior Engineer, Environmental Health & Safety
Imagine starting your day at 8 AM in Analog Devices' state-of-the-art Penang facility. Your morning begins with a review of overnight safety metrics and incident logs via the digital dashboard. By 9 AM, you're leading a toolbox talk for production teams, emphasizing hazard recognition in cleanroom environments using engaging visuals and real-world examples from recent audits.
Mid-morning, you conduct a walkthrough inspection of the manufacturing floor, identifying potential ergonomic risks at assembly stations and noting improvements in chemical storage compliance. Documentation is key; you log findings in the S&IH management system, assigning corrective actions with deadlines. Lunch at the on-site cafeteria offers a chance to network with engineers from R&D, discussing upcoming sustainability initiatives.
Afternoon brings a risk assessment workshop with cross-functional teams, brainstorming solutions for high-risk processes like wafer handling. You might liaise with DOSH inspectors via a scheduled call, ensuring alignment on Green Book requirements. Later, you oversee an Emergency Response Team drill, evaluating response times and debriefing for enhancements. Ending the day, you analyze audit readiness for ISO 45001, preparing reports that highlight continuous improvements. This dynamic routine blends fieldwork, analysis, collaboration, and strategic planning, all in Penang's tropical yet professional setting.
