THE OPPORTUNITY

As the Director of Technology Teams, you will oversee the deliverables and process workflows of our engineering teams, specifically within the realm of semiconductor technology. This is not an Information Technology position but rather a leadership role focused on our specialized Technology teams, including semiconductor Process Analysts, Circuit Analysts, and Senior Technical Fellows.

Your primary focus will be on continuous improvement, recommending enhancements to tools, methods, systems, and processes to optimize engineering value and drive efficiencies. Additionally, you will ensure that our Technology Teams are appropriately staffed to meet current and future business needs, particularly as we introduce new subscription offerings.

Collaboration with Product Management and Development teams to support future Product Roadmaps will be integral to your responsibilities. In this role, you will also play a pivotal part in building, guiding, mentoring, and providing growth opportunities for our managers and senior managers within the Technology Teams, empowering them to take on other strategic roles within the company as needed.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Oversee, monitor, and continuously improve Technology Teams' deliverables and process workflows, ensuring optimization of engineering resources and meeting delivery targets. This includes monitoring capacity levels, evaluating cost optimization opportunities, and ensuring adequate resourcing for new product introductions or enhancements.
• Optimize the value of engineering by establishing, developing, maintaining, and continually improving processes, systems, and tools. This involves gathering and understanding process and tool requirements, making recommendations for efficiency improvements, and ensuring delivery targets are met with historical analysis and forecasting.
• Collaborate with Product Management and Development teams to support future Product Roadmap discussions, representing the interests of the Technology Teams and facilitating the development of new subscription offerings. This includes working with Business Operations and Planning to allocate resources and develop additional production/optimization metrics for subscription-based products.
• Build, lead, and manage engineering unit leaders (managers, sr. managers) by communicating strategic objectives, providing clear direction, setting professional development goals, and empowering team members to be self-starting and self-sufficient. This also involves motivating, guiding, and mentoring team members, as well as developing succession plans in advance of retirements or departures.
