About the Organization

We are a U.S.-headquartered global semiconductor manufacturing and advanced digital fabrication enterprise powering next-generation AI processors, autonomous systems, high-performance computing infrastructure, and defense-adjacent microelectronics platforms.

Our operations span fully automated fabrication facilities (fabs), precision robotics assembly environments, digital twin–enabled production ecosystems, and AI-driven yield optimization systems across domestic and international manufacturing sites. With billions invested in advanced lithography, automation, and smart factory integration, operational technology (OT) resilience and scalability are central to production continuity and innovation velocity.

As semiconductor demand accelerates globally, integrating advanced operational technology architecture across manufacturing systems, cybersecurity infrastructure, industrial IoT networks, and predictive analytics platforms has become mission-critical.

We are seeking a transformative Senior Vice President, Operations Technology to lead enterprise OT strategy, industrial automation governance, digital factory innovation, and infrastructure resilience, fully remote within the United States.

This is not an IT oversight role. This is an enterprise-wide digital manufacturing and operational technology leadership mandate at a global scale.
