Job description

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Lab Security Manager who can rise to the complexity of protecting infrastructure at scale — someone who understands both the physical realities of securing a gigawatt‑capacity compute facility and the nuanced cybersecurity challenges unique to hardware and software R&D environments. We have competitive benefit packages and an award‑winning culture. Join us!

THE PERSON

The ideal candidate brings deep technical credibility — enough to earn the trust of hardware architects, silicon engineers, and security operations teams alike — and the operational discipline to build programs that work across a global footprint of campus labs, colocation facilities, and large‑scale compute farms.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Lab & Facility Security

• Define and enforce security standards across global labs and compute facilities
• Partner with facilities teams to embed security into lab design and operations
• Maintain site‑specific security plans for critical locations

Compute & Cyber‑Physical Security

• Establish security controls for large‑scale compute environments (e.g., GPU clusters, AI farms)
• Enforce network segmentation, monitoring, and anomaly detection
• Mitigate risks at the intersection of physical and logical access

IP Protection & Insider Threat

• Lead protection of sensitive IP, including pre‑release hardware and software
• Develop insider threat controls and collaborate with HR, Legal, and SOC
• Manage protocols for handling sensitive assets, visitors, and contractors

Compliance & Export Control

• Ensure compliance with EAR, ISO, NIST, and other frameworks
• Support audits, risk assessments, and control validation
• Translate compliance standards into practical lab controls

Vulnerability Management

• Monitor threats and vulnerabilities relevant to lab environments
• Drive remediation, patching, and exception processes
• Report security posture and metrics to leadership

Partner & Network Security

• Design and govern secure connectivity with external partners (ODC/OSAT)
• Enforce network security standards (VPN, SD‑WAN, ZTNA)
• Conduct partner risk assessments and access reviews

Incident Response & Risk

• Lead response for lab‑related security incidents
• Develop playbooks and conduct risk assessments
• Maintain risk register and report program maturity

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

• Background in semiconductor, hardware engineering, or other R&D‑intensive industries where pre‑release IP protection is mission‑critical
• Experience evaluating and securing connectivity to ODC (Outsourced Design Center) or OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) partners, or equivalent third‑party manufacturing and engineering partners in the semiconductor supply chain
• Experience securing AI/ML compute infrastructure, including familiarity with GPU cluster deployments, fabric interconnects, and associated operational environments
• One or more relevant certifications: CISSP, CISM, GIAC or equivalent
• Experience working in or alongside a Security Operations Center (SOC), including familiarity with SIEM platforms, UEBA tools, and alert triage workflows
• Prior experience in a role that required coordination across physical security, IT security, and legal/compliance functions simultaneously

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• BS/MS preferred in related field
• SANS, MCSE, RHCSS, CISSP, CISA, CISM certification(s)
