About the Company
We are a global semiconductor and advanced microelectronics manufacturer supplying next-generation chips for AI processors, autonomous vehicles, high-performance computing, aerospace systems, and 5G/6G telecommunications infrastructure.
With fabrication facilities (fabs) across North America, Europe, and Asia, and a multi-billion-dollar capital expansion roadmap, our organization operates within one of the most complex and strategically critical supply ecosystems in the world.
From rare earth mineral sourcing and wafer fabrication to advanced packaging and global distribution, our supply chain must operate with extreme precision, resilience, and geopolitical awareness.
As global chip demand surges and supply chain volatility continues across regions, we are seeking a strategic Head of Supply Chain to architect and lead a globally integrated, risk-resilient, high-performance semiconductor supply ecosystem.
This is not a procurement management role. This is a global supply architecture mandate.
