MSAT Technical Strategy serves as a strategic hub within MSAT, supporting early phase project strategy development, cross-pillar resource planning, project portfolio oversight, capacity and capability tracking, and operational excellence. The team plays a key role in connecting technical strategy to site-level execution and in enabling informed decision making in a complex and fast-changing environment.
We are looking for a Senior Process Engineer I who thrives in complexity and change, brings strong structure to ambiguous situations, and enjoys working across multiple initiatives, stakeholders, and timelines simultaneously, while handling a wide variety of deliverables.

The role combines strategic thinking, structured projects and portfolio management, and strong communication. Success requires comfort with ever evolving priorities, changing requirements, and decisions to pause, accelerate or stop initiatives, while maintaining clarity, momentum, and stakeholder alignment.
In addition, the Senior Process Engineer I, independently manages small to medium complexity projects and contributes as a subject matter expert to larger, cross-functional programs, particularly during early strategic phases.
