Job description

MACOM (NASDAQ: MTSI) is a global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced semiconductor products across a diverse range of end markets, including Data Centers, Telecommunications, Industrial and Aerospace and Defense. We develop innovative, cutting-edge technologies and products across the spectrum of radio frequency (RF), microwave, millimeter wave, photonics and high-speed analog technologies. Our solutions support critical network infrastructure applications like artificial intelligence, high performance computing, satellite communications, radar, unmanned aerial vehicles, medical equipment, test and measurement and advanced wireless networks.
MACOM has more than 75 years of expertise in semiconductor process development, wafer fabrication, circuit design, advanced packaging, systems architecture and applications engineering. We are committed to our customers' success. We partner with customers to help solve their most challenging problems by providing semiconductor solutions that are at the forefront of the highest power, highest frequency and/or highest data rates.
Leading technologies, innovative products and driven employees. Come be a part of MACOM and help advance the next generation of connectivity infrastructure!
We are hiring a Director of Security Operations to own and mature MACOM's detection, response, and security operations program. This is a player-coach role: you will lead and develop a team of security engineers and SOC analysts while remaining hands-on in detection engineering, incident response, and technical security work. You will own MACOM's security operations stack end-to-end, run our hybrid SOC (a 24/7 managed detection partner plus an internal analyst team), and serve as the operational backbone of our incident response and insider-risk programs.
You will operate in a regulated, defense-adjacent environment - CMMC, ITAR/EAR, SOX, SEC cyber-disclosure, and an OT/ICS manufacturing footprint - where the quality of detection and response has direct compliance and disclosure consequence.
Key Responsibilities
Security operations & tooling
  • Own, operate, and report on the security operations stack - endpoint detection and response (EDR), email security, removable-media/USB encryption, DLP/insider-risk tooling, and related controls - including configuration, health, coverage, and lifecycle.
  • Own budget and vendor management for the security operations tool portfolio.

Detection & SOC management
  • Run the hybrid SOC: govern the 24/7 managed detection (MDR/co-managed) relationship - SLAs, escalation quality, and coverage accountability - while leading the internal analyst team.
  • Own detection engineering and content management: use-case development, tuning, detection-as-code, telemetry/log-source onboarding, and MITRE ATT&CK coverage mapping.
  • Lead threat hunting and operationalize threat intelligence into detections and hunts.
  • Drive security automation and orchestration (SOAR) and develop response runbooks and playbooks.
  • Own security monitoring of OT/ICS telemetry across the manufacturing environment, partnering with OT/engineering teams on coverage and response.

Incident response & preparedness
  • Own incident preparedness and response: IR plan and playbook maintenance, DFIR retainer management, and post-incident reviews.
  • Run tabletop and purple-team exercises to validate detection and response readiness.
  • Serve as the operational front end of the executive incident-disclosure process, providing timely, accurate technical input to support materiality determinations under SEC cyber-disclosure rules.

Insider risk, investigations & legal partnership
  • Partner with Legal on insider-threat investigations, legal holds, and evidence preservation.
  • Operate insider-risk and DLP monitoring in coordination with Legal and HR.

Awareness & technical reviews
  • Own the phishing simulation and security-awareness training program, with metrics focused on reporting and resilience.
  • Serve as the primary lead for technical security reviews of systems, integrations, and changes.

Product Security
  • Build foundational product security capability within the security operations team as MACOM expands its software and firmware-enabled product portfolio - partnering with product and firmware engineering on secure development practices, embedded/firmware vulnerability awareness, and coordinated vulnerability handling.
  • Develop the team's depth in software and firmware security over time, serving as the security operations interface for product security matters.

M&A Due Diligence
  • Support cybersecurity due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures - evaluating target security posture, control maturity, and inherited risk, and informing integration planning and Day-1 security requirements, in coordination with Corporate Development, Legal, and GRC.

Compliance & reporting
  • Operate and evidence security-operations controls supporting CMMC / NIST 800-171 and SOX ITGC, in partnership with GRC.
  • Produce and report security operations metrics (e.g., MTTD/MTTR, detection coverage, response quality) for leadership and the board.
  • Partner with the vulnerability management owner on exploitation validation and risk-based prioritization.

Balancing risk with business requirements
  • Exercise risk-based judgment to balance security requirements against business and operational priorities - enabling the business to move at speed while ensuring material risks are surfaced, owned, and consciously accepted at the appropriate level.

Leadership
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of security engineers and SOC analysts; set clear expectations, build career paths, and raise the technical bar.

What You Bring
Required
  • 8+ years in security operations, detection/response, or a closely related security engineering discipline, including 2+ years leading and developing technical security teams.
  • Demonstrated hands-on depth in detection engineering and incident response - this role leads by doing, not only by directing.
  • Experience operating core security operations tooling (EDR, SIEM, email security, DLP) and managing a SIEM/detection content lifecycle.
  • Experience managing a managed-detection or co-managed SOC relationship and holding a partner accountable to outcomes.
  • Proven incident response leadership across the full lifecycle, including coordination with legal, executive, and external (DFIR/IR retainer) stakeholders.
  • Strong working knowledge of detection frameworks and methodologies (e.g., MITRE ATT&CK).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to translate technical risk for executive and board audiences.

Preferred
  • Experience in a regulated environment - defense contractor (CMMC / NIST 800-171), ITAR/EAR, SOX, or critical infrastructure.
  • Exposure to OT/ICS security (IEC 62443) in a manufacturing setting.
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, GCIA, GCIH, GCFA, or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Defender XDR, Azure / Azure Government, and cloud workload monitoring.

Leadership attributes
  • A genuine player-coach: invested in growing people and willing to dig into the technical work alongside the team.
  • Sound judgment under pressure and a calm, structured approach to incidents.
  • Collaborative across IT, Legal, GRC, and OT/engineering peers.
