This role is responsible for developing and executing an IT vision that enhances productivity, quality, and decision‑making across the Semiconductor business unit and aligned with the broader Precinmac organization.

The Director leads infrastructure, cybersecurity, enterprise applications, data management, analytics, and digital transformation initiatives for the SEMI business unit, ensuring technology directly supports business growth, manufacturing excellence, and customer requirements unique to the semiconductor sector.

This role partners closely with the broader Precinmac IT organization, business unit leadership and cross‑functional teams to leverage technology that improves throughput, reduces variability, supports precision manufacturing, and drives real‑time insight across the business.

• Develop and execute a forward‑looking IT strategy aligned with business goals, manufacturing requirements, and semiconductor‑industry expectations.
• Drive digital transformation initiatives including automation, data integration, advanced analytics, and shop‑floor connectivity (MES, SPC, IoT).
• Serve as the internal thought leader on AI, driving a clear strategy for applying AI tools to streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve decision‑making across business functions (e.g., operations, HR, finance, supply chain).
• Evaluate emerging technologies for their applicability to manufacturing efficiency, precision, quality, and customer compliance, with consideration for long‑term scalability and operational resilience.

• In coordination with the broader organization, establish data governance, data quality, and master data management practices that ensure the business unit's data is clean, well‑structured, and independently maintainable for the business unit.

• Own IT infrastructure for the business unit — networks, cloud services, servers, storage, end‑user computing, and communications — with clear documentation of system architecture, dependencies, and ownership.
• Implement and mature cybersecurity programs aligned with manufacturing risk profiles and semiconductor customer expectations (e.g., NIST, supply‑chain security).
• Establish business continuity and disaster recovery strategies for critical manufacturing systems.
• Manage IT operations across multiple facilities, ensuring consistent performance and availability.

• Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Finance to understand requirements and design solutions that reduce downtime, increase yield, and improve process control.
• Enable technology use across all levels, from shop‑floor operators to executives, enhancing workforce productivity and information access.
• Serve as primary liaison between IT and external partners, auditors, integrators, and technology providers.
• Lead large‑scale IT projects for the business unit including system upgrades, site integrations, and infrastructure improvements.
• Negotiate and manage vendor contracts and relationships at the business unit level, with attention to contract terms, ownership, and service‑level accountability.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field required, Master’s degree or MBA preferred.
• Minimum ten years of experience managing IT operations, including leadership responsibilities.
• ITIL, PMP, CISSP, or other relevant certifications for IT governance and project management are preferred.
